Summary:

"The catalogue highlights Latin American masterpieces, including paintings, sculptures and decorative arts, made shortly after the conquest and before the independence movements. Arranged regionally, the essays explore how artists found freedom despite colonial authority. While pleasing clients, many artists of Indigenous and African descent also reclaimed and reshape the arts for themselves and their new colonial realities. Epilogue essays will consider modern and contemporary trends"-- Provided by publisher
