Exploring the art and personal iconography of the prominent Cuban-born American sculptor and installation artist. One of the most revered members of “the Miami Generation,” a group of Cuban-born artists who emigrated to the United States, María Brito is a painter, sculptor, and installation artist best known for her elaborately constructed room-like works that embody narratives of loss and displacement. Brito also draws on personal iconography to create challenging works that are at once deeply autobiographical and reflect a profound fluency with the history of Western art. In this new volume in the landmark A Ver series and the first major book on Brito’s career, Juan A. Martinez examines the unique interplay of the personal and the universal in this Miami-based artist’s diverse mixed-media works. Juan A. Martinez is professor and chair of art and art history at Florida International University in Miami. 128 pages | 95 color photos | 7 x 10 | August 2008 A Ver Series
