Book synopsis

The Paris-born, Venezuelan artist Marisol (b.1930) burst on to 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. Accompanied by the first retrospective of her 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 some of the leading scholars of Latin American and 20th-century art explore all facets of her work including 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.
