| Summary: | "Revealing the richness and complexity that characterizes contemporary Latinx painting, Let Us Gather in a Flourishing Way offers a panoramic overview of the field at a crucial moment in history. This bilingual (English/Spanish) exhibition catalog celebrates the innovations and interventions that Latinx artists enact on established traditions of painting, inviting dialogue on a variety of themes and revealing the diversity and expansiveness present within the field. These artists encourage us to interrogate the continued relevance of boundaries, from political borders to disciplinary confines. Highlighting thematic groupings that include a range of stylistic and material approaches, the book emphasizes commonalities across regions and generations, as artists consider the notions of community, land, placemaking and the writing or rewriting of histories. With 70 works by 58 artists based across the United States and Puerto Rico, this lively and lavishly designed catalog presents a vision of Latinx art that is expansive, dialogic and, like the diaspora itself, infinitely complex" --Publisher's website. |
