Latin American Modernism
This is a catchall phrase that includes the many developments in art across Latin America in the first eight decades of the 20th century. Latin America broadly refers to the countries in the Americas (including the Caribbean) whose national language is derived from Latin (Spanish, Portuguese, and French). The collective experiences of conquest, slavery, and imperialism inform the artwork of these countries throughout this period.
