Hombre americano a todo color

About this book

"Originally scheduled for publication in Caracas in 1975, this book was finally published 20 years later in Bogotá. Fifteen separate short essays about Latin American artists, among them José Luis Cuevas, Rodolfo Abularach, Fernando de Szyszlo, Agustín Fernández, and Luis Caballero make up the text of this publication. The book reflects Traba's idea of the multifaceted, often contradictory Latin American as seen through the arts, in opposition to what many would consider a defined personality or cultural character. Illustrated in color with accompanying biographical notes on every artist"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
