      abstract = {Paris was the artistic capital of the world in the 1920s  and '30s, providing a home and community for the French and  international avant-garde. Latin American artists  contributed to and reinterpreted nearly every major  modernist movement that took place in the creative center  of Paris between World War I and World War II, including  Cubism (Diego Rivera), Surrealism (Antonio Berni and  Roberto Matta), and Constructivism (Joaquin Torres-Garcia).  Yet their participation in the Paris art scene has remained  largely overlooked until now. This book examines their  collective role, surveying the work of both household names  and an extraordinary array of lesser-known artists. Michele  Greet illuminates the significant ways in which Latin  American expatriates helped establish modernism and,  conversely, how a Parisian environment influenced the  development of Latin American artistic identity.},
