Part II
1945–1959
The Cold War and Internationalism

This group of essays addresses the rise of abstraction and consolidation of “internationalist” formalism, the polemics between the proponents of social realism, and indigenismo as “authentic” art forms versus the subsequent development of alternative movements such as geometric, concrete, and gestural abstraction. It examines these movements within the social and political context of the Cold War and the rise of modernization theory and state‐led developmentalism across Latin America. It also highlights the importance of the rise of institutions, museums, and events, such as the São Paulo Biennial, in the growing internationalization of Latin American art.
