Débora Arango : vida de pintora
"Monograph honoring one of Colombia's more controversial painters, whose expressionistic work during the 1940s-50s was frequently surrounded by scandal and motivated angry personal attacks in the press. On occasion this led to the closing of several of her exhibitions, but her contribution was finally recognized in the 1980s. Arango's painting, both provocative and daring, usually deals with political, religious, and moral issues, although she also practiced more conventional themes such as portraiture, still life, and landscape. Supported by good documentation and illustrated in b/w, this book is part of a great effort by Londoño, whose research focused on the arts of the region of Antioquia, revitalizing an almost-forgotten field"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
Humanities
Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 130 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon became the editor in 2000. The subject categories for Volume 58 are as follows: Electronic Resources for the Humanities Art History (including ethnohistory) Literature (including translations from the Spanish and Portuguese) Philosophy: Latin American Thought Music

Sacralidad y transgresión en la literatura y el arte
El libro Sacralidad y transgresión en la literatura y el arte. Tomás Carrasquilla, Débora Arango, explora comparativamente los mecanismos artísticos de la sacralidad y de la transgresión y los condicionamientos histórico-sociales en la literatura y la pintura, esenciales para comprender la interrelación y complejidad de las manifestaciones estéticas nacionales, toda vez que en el contexto colombiano, la crítica literaria y la crítica del arte poseen desarrollos diferentes y hasta desiguales, en términos evolutivos, sin llegar a establecer un dialogo significativo entre dichos saberes y prácticas culturales. En los autores seleccionados, Tomás Carrasquilla y Débora Arango, llama la atención su profunda religiosidad que, sin embargo, no les impidió en ciertas obras tener una visión crítica de este tema tan álgido en el país en su época, aparejado en ambos con una actitud humorística, irónica y a veces hasta jocosamente paródica, frente a los contrasentidos de la vida de los feligreses, así como de los miembros de la institución eclesiástica.
The Politics of Taste
In The Politics of Taste Ana María Reyes examines the works of Colombian artist Beatriz González and Argentine-born art critic, Marta Traba, who championed González's art during Colombia's National Front coalition government (1958–74). During this critical period in Latin American art, artistic practice, art criticism, and institutional objectives came into strenuous yet productive tension. While González’s triumphant debut excited critics who wanted to cast Colombian art as modern, sophisticated, and universal, her turn to urban lowbrow culture proved deeply unsettling. Traba praised González's cursi (tacky) recycling aesthetic as daringly subversive and her strategic localism as r...
