Kunst uit Latijns-Amerika

About this book

The geographic diversity of Latin America is reflected in the variety of Katoen Natie's art collection. It includes kinetic art by Jesús Rafael Soto, 'sinister art' by Líbero Badíi, 'new realism' art by Antonio Berni and neo-figurative art by Marcia Schvartz. In addition, the collection gathers work by Leonora Carrington, Wifredo Lam and Roberto Matta, three artists who were prominent figures on the surrealistic scene in Latin America. The second emphasis of the collection is on constructive art from Uruguay. In this context the Katoen Natie collection is one of the largest and most complete in de the world. It not only includes works by the founder of constructive universalism, Joaquín Torres García and by pupils of the Taller Torres García, but also by comtemporary artists who worked in constant dialogue with this tradition.
