Book Synopsis
Although it is one of Latin America's most significant postwar art movements, Nueva Figuracion has long been overlooked in studies of modern art. In this first comprehensive examination of the movement, Patrick Frank explores the work of four artists at its heart to demonstrate the importance of their work in the transnational development of modern art.

Trade Review
Brings long overdue recognition and reevaluation to Nueva Figuración. Offers a contemporary reexamination of the artworks beyond that of Argentina's complex political history for a more global interpretation."" - Carol Damian, author of Neorealism and Contemporary Colombian Painting

""Chronicles an important and little-known episode in the history of Argentine art and thoughtfully locates the movement within the complex cultural and political landscape of its time."" - Abigail McEwen, University of Maryland, College Park
