Reviews
Garcia's study serves as a model of the ways in which thoughtful and creative archival research can significantly alter the narratives we tell of both individual artists and larger movements. What this author builds from archival sources is a compelling story in which nationalism and internationalism are irrevocably intertwined, and the most genuine desire for the latter can be made to serve the former. It thus presents South American concretism as both an avant-garde project and a tool of cultural politics and argues that the line between the two is not easily fixed. * Art Journal * A game changer for the histories of Latin American abstraction. * Latin American Research Review *
