"The Paris-born, Venezuelan artist Marisol (b. 1930) burst onto the 1960s New York art scene with large figural sculptures in a wild amalgam of mixed media. Often satirical, Marisol's art is inspired by sources as diverse as Pre-Columbian art, folk art, Cubism, and Surrealism. For the past several decades, however, Marisol has shunned the spotlight and her artwork has been overlooked as a result. Accompanying the first retrospective of Marisol's work in more than a decade, this long-awaited and beautifully illustrated volume offers a much-needed corrective, reestablishing her role as a major figure in postwar American art. Essays by leading scholars of Latin American and 20th-century art explore all facets of her work including her influences, the theme of family, American politics and pop culture, Native American rights and poverty, her role as a female artist, and her relationship to Latin America and Latin American art"--

Seller's Description:
Illustrated by Escobar, Marisol. Very Good. 0300203799. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Marisol: Sculptures and Works on Paper by the Memphis Broooks Museum of Art, June 14-September 7, 2014. This book is "the result of new scholarship and deepened relationships with a group of excellent colleagues brought together by an essential twentieth century artistic voice. If the lasting outcome of the Brooks' work on this project is to have pried open the door to new and recontextualized responses to Marisol, then the museum has answered its highest calling. In response to that call, the essays in this volume illuminate the character and spirit embodied in Marisol's artwork. As you delve into the essays and images within the catalogue in your hands and the exhibition that it accompanies, I hope you will feel the pull toward rediscovery."-Preface. 192 glossy pages generously illustrated in color and black and white. Clean, bright and unmarked with very light wear. No dust jacket, apparently as issued. A lovely copy.; Art; 4to.
