About this Lecture: 

The avant-gardes in Latin America that developed during the 1920s delved into the paradox of pursuing the universal while striving to realise a national artistic identity. Despite their paradoxical aim, this tension allowed artists to explore a new spectrum of styles, mediums and languages that separated them from the European avant-gardes that most of them had previously studied. This lecture will focus on four nodes of their investigation, looking at Mexican, Argentinean, Uruguayan and Brazilian artists such as David Alfaro Siqueiros, Frida Kahlo, Joaquin Torres Garcia, Anita Malfatti & Tarsila do Amaral.
