Today Is Always Yesterday: Contemporary Brazilian Art
Autor Michael Asburyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 feb 2024
Today Is Always Yesterday explores the historical constructs underlying contemporary art in Brazil. Michael Asbury argues that art can activate as well as illustrate history. The colors of the Brazilian flag structure the book’s five chapters as Asbury explores artists’ vital role in unraveling Brazil’s core myths and its projected image as a racial melting pot. Richly illustrated, this book presents a compelling account of contemporary debates in Brazilian art.

Recenzii
"Asbury challenges the cliché of national identity in Brazilian contemporary art by provocatively employing the national colors as metaphors. He provides essential historical context, critically deconstructing the themes and concepts examined within the pages of this compelling book."
"One of the strengths of Today is Always Yesterday lies precisely in showing the role that art plays in the formation and historical and cultural construction of a nation. . . . Its publication allows for important gaps in our historiography to be filled. Today is Always Yesterday has much to add to the debate and to the Brazilian art system overall."
