Between 1900 and 1942, New York City was the site of extraordinary creative exchange where artists could share ideas in a global context. This book focuses on key artists from the Caribbean and Latin America who entered into dynamic cultural and social dialogs with the American-based avant-grade.
Joaquin Torres-Garcia (1874-1949) is one of the most influential artists to have emerged from Latin America in the early 20th century. This book focuses on Torres-Garcia's wood constructions and accompanies the first exhibition held in North America of these works and the solo exhibition of the artist in the United States.
