ReVision: A New Look at Art in the Americas Edited by Victoria Lyall and Jorge F. Rivas Perez ReVision: A New Look at Art in the Americas considers what makes the Americas the Americas. With essays by leading scholars of Latin American art history, the lavishly illustrated publication explores the ways in which the past continues to exert an influence on communities throughout the region. Artists such as Alexander Apostol, Juan Enrique Bedoya, Johanna Calle, Chiachio & Giannone, Ronny Quevedo, Sandy Rodriguez, Eduardo Sarabia, Clarissa Tossin and Cecilia Vicuna draw on centuries if imagery from both before and after the Conquest to grapple with questions of identity, exploitation of natural resources and displacement. The essays in this book provide a framework for understanding the region's nuanced history of creation, destruction and renewal. They are written by Beverly Adams, Estrellita Brodsky, Curator of Latin American Art at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Julieta Gonzalez, Independent curator, Mexico City; and Elena Shtromberg, associate professor, Department of Art and Art History, University of Utah.
