Author: Lilia Carrillo
Part of the so-called Generación de la Ruptura (Breakaway Generation) departing from Mexican muralism, painter Lilia Carrillo (1930–74) became one of the leading female exponents of abstraction in midcentury Mexico after studying avant-garde movements in Paris during the 1950s. Her career was cut short, however, after a spinal aneurysm that left her partially paralyzed and brought about her untimely death at the age of 43. This bilingual (English/Spanish) monograph is the first dedicated to Carrillo in more than three decades. By approaching 1960s and ’70s nonfigurative art in Mexico through the scope of her paintings, contributors both reconfigure the history of the period and do justice to the legacy of an undersung artist.
ISBN 9786076058862. Americas Society. hb. 368 pages. 11.8 x 9 in.
