Latin American Art in Grove
Julio Galan: Tehuana en el Istmo de Tehuantepec, oil on canvas, 1987
Grove Art's coverage of Latin American Art and Architecture offers an extraordinary opportunity to experience the excitement about and interest in this field of Art History. Running from 2016-2024, this effort represents a major initiative to revise and expand Grove’s content on Latin American art and architecture. The intent is to provide a series of brief essays and bibliographies that will allow further investigation not only for the interested public, but also for students and scholars as a resource to begin avenues of inquiry and research. It has taken nearly two hundred scholars to produce this much needed update to the Grove Dictionary of Art. As Editor in Chief, I gratefully thank all those who have worked so hard to bring this arduous but most rewarding work to fruition.
