surrealists remedios varo mexico roulotte 1956 contemporary art edit since roughly the 1970s artists from all parts of latin america have made important contributions to international contemporary art from conceptual sculptors like doris salcedo from colombia and daniel lind ramos from puerto rico to painters like myrna báez from puerto rico to artists working in media like photography such as vik muniz from brazil in mexico printmaking has served as a medium for political expression and social movements since the early 20th century 38 following the 2006 uprising in oaxaca politically engaged collectives including asaro colectivo subterráneos and lapiztola formed to address contemporary issues through relief printmaking and public muralism 39 40 styles and trends edit figuration edit european classical art styles have made a long lasting impression on the art of latin america into the twentieth century many latin american artists continued to be schooled in the traditional 19th century style resulting in a continued emphasis on figurative work due to the far reach of figuration the work often spans upon a number of different styles such as realism pop art expressionism and surrealism only naming a few while these artists confront issues that range from the personal to the political many have a shared interest in indigenous issues and the heritage of european cultural imperialism one movement devoted to figuration was otra figuración other figuration an argentine artist group and commune formed in 1961 and disbanded in 1966 members rómulo macció ernesto deira jorge de la vega and luis felipe noé lived together and shared a studio in buenos aires artists of otra figuración worked in an expressionistic abstract figurative style featuring vivid colors and collage although otra figuración were contemporaries of nueva presencia there was no direct contact between the two groups 33 people who are sometimes associated with the group are raquel forner antonio berni alberto heredia and antonio seguí parody and sociopolitical critique edit josé guadalupe posada mexico la calavera catrina art in latin america has often been used as a means of social and political critique mexican graphic artist josé guadalupe posada drew harsh images of mexican elites as skeletons calaveras this was done prior to the mexican revolution strongly influencing later artists such as diego rivera a common practice among latin american figurative artists is to parody old master paintings especially those of the spanish court produced by diego velázquez in the 17th century these parodies serve a dual purpose referring to the artistic and cultural history of latin america and critiquing the legacy of european cultural imperialism in latin american nations artists fernando botero herman braun vega and alberto gironella frequently employed this technique colombian figurative artist fernando botero whose work features unique puffy figures in various situations addressing themes of power war and social issues has used this technique to draw parallels between current governing bodies and the spanish monarchy his 1967 painting the presidential family is an early example the painting echoing diego velázquez s 1656 spanish court painting las meninas the maids of honor contains a self portrait of botero standing behind a large canvas the thick puffy presidential family decked out in fashionable finery and staring blandly out of the canvas appear socially superior drawing attention to social inequality 35 according to botero his puffy figures are not meant to be satirical he painted a powerful series of canvases which are based on photos of torture by the u s military of iraqi prisoners at abu ghraib prison the deformation you see is the result of my involvement with painting the monumental and in my eyes sensually provocative volumes stem from this whether they appear fat or not does not interest me it has hardly any meaning for my painting my concern is with formal fullness abundance and that is something entirely different 32 among peruvian painter herman braun vega the appropriation of works of the old masters is almost systematic from the 1970s 41 the characters he borrows from the iconography of european painting are often confronted with the social and political situation of latin america 42 in his painting la leçon à la campagne rembrandt in 1984 he takes the scene from rembrandt s painting the anatomy lesson of dr nicolaes tulp transporting it outside to the countryside and substituting for certain characters from the original painting contemporary latin american characters who refer to the social and political situation of south america as confirmed by the texts of the press clippings transfers of the newspaper le monde which structures the feet of the corpse in the cubist way 43 in 1987 in his painting double focus over the west velazquez and picasso he turned velazquez s painting las meninas into a critic of the power of the church by replacing the royal couple in the mirror of the back of the room by pope john paul ii receiving kurt waldheim in the vatican 44 among many other examples we can still cite the painting los caprichos del f m i goya of 2003 where el tiempo y las viejas and some engravings from los caprichos de goya are featured to criticize the sermonizers of the international monetary fund 45 mexican painter and collagist alberto gironella whose style mixes elements of surrealism and pop art also produced parodies of official spanish court paintings he completed dozens of versions of velásquez s queen mariana from 1652 gironella s parodies critique the spanish rule of mexico by incorporating subversive imagery la reina de los yugos or the queen of yokes 1975 81 depicts mariana with a skirt made of upside down ox yokes signifying both spanish dominance over mexico s indigenous peoples and those people s subversion of spanish rule the yokes are rendered useless by being upturned gironella s hallmark was the use of particular spanish grocery cans sardines mussels etc in his works and soda bottle caps nailed or glued around the rim of his paintings cuban artist sandra ramos paintings etchings installations collages and digital animation often tackle taboo subjects in contemporary cuban society such as racism mass migration communism and social injustices in
