Latin American artists contributed to and reinterpreted nearly every major modernist movement that took place in the creative center of Paris between World War I and World War II, including Cubism (Diego Rivera), Surrealism (Antonio Berni and Roberto Matta), and Constructivism (Joaqu n Torres-Garc a). Yet their participation in the Paris art scene has remained largely overlooked until now. This vibrant book examines their collective role, surveying the work of both household names and an extraordinary array of lesser-known artists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Author Michele Greet illuminates the significant ways in which Latin American expatriates helped establish modernism and, conversely, how a Parisian environment influenced the development of Latin American artistic identity. These artists, hailing from former Spanish and Portuguese colonies, encountered expectations of primitivism from their European audiences, and their diverse responses to such biased perceptions--ranging from rejection to embrace to selective reinterpretation of European tendencies--yielded a rich variety of formal innovation. Magnificently illustrated and conveying with clarity a nuanced portrait of modernism, \u003ci\u003eTransatlantic Encounters\u003c\/i\u003e also engages in a wider discussion of the relationship between displacement, identity formation, and artistic production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michele Greet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300228422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300228427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 8.80w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2018 pg. 99\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2018","brand":"Michele Greet","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46738974540031,"sku":"9780300228427","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e227ebb5-40ee-4e65-9e40-bec6a22511b4.jpg?v=1743276831","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transatlantic-encounters-michele-greet-9780300228427","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
