A few weeks back I finished reading Phaidon's coffee-table book Latin American Art in the Twentieth Century, edited by Edward J. Sullivan, and with country-by-country essays by various specialists. Since it was (apart from, say, the most famous of Mexican painters) pretty much new territory for me, at the end I flipped back through and noted the works and artists that I'd liked. I thought I might spin a few blog posts out of that list, using what images I can track down ... here's part 2, Central America:
Guatemala
Efraín Recinos - Música Grande / Marimba
Logo for Music and Youth foundation, Guatemala. Note the similar profile to above.
... and, for that matter, his design for Guatemala's Teatro National / Centro Cultural Miguel Angel Asturias:
Moisés Barrios - Antes de Conocerte I couldn't find, but here's Familia en una piscina:
Honduras
Mario Castillo - Familia —nope.
Nicaragua
Roberto Galícia - Bandera — a twisted image of the country's flag:
Costa Rica
Juan Manuel Sánchez - Los Amantes - Nope
Teodorico Quirós - Caserío - no, but El portón rojo:
Panama
Manuel de la Cruz González - Amarillo Contínuo
Roberto Lewis - Tamarindos
