Trade Review“It is a testament to Yale that they have embraced a colonial Latin American topic and the book is handsome with rich, high-quality colour reproductions. . . .
Paintings in Latin America immediately becomes the authoritative work on the subject in English.”—Gauvin Alexander Bailey,

“The eleven chapters in
Painting in Latin America are thought provoking and largely original; additionally, the book’s bibliographic richness, frequent inclusion of little-studied artists and presentation of high quality images (many published for the first time) make it a truly rewarding study.”—Cristina Cruz Gonzalez,
