Book Synopsis
ReVisión: A New Look at Art in the Americas considers what makes the Americas the Americas. With essays by leading scholars of Latin American art history, the publication explores the ways in which the past continues to exert an influence on communities throughout the region.

Artists such as Alexander Apóstol, Juan Enrique Bedoya, Johanna Calle, Ronny Quevedo, Sandy Rodríguez, Eduardo Sarabia, Clarissa Tossin,and Cecilia Vicuña draw on centuries of imagery from both before and after the Conquest to grapple with questions of identity, exploitation of natural resources, and displacement. The essays in this catalog provide a framework for understanding the region’s nuanced history of creation, destruction, and renewal.

Trade Review
"As its title suggests, ReVisión: Art in the Americas seeks to revise traditional approaches to the visual history of the Americas and provide a distinct perspective. . . . As curators Victoria Lyall and Jorge Rivas Pérez state in the exhibition’s catalog, rather than seeking to present a 'comprehensive history of the arts of ancient and Latin America,' their achronological, bilingual exhibition focuses on how artists today critically mobilize the pre-Hispanic and colonial pasts in their work." * caa reviews *
