Description: "Excellent study of beginnings of Costa Rican abstract art pays tribute to the pioneering role of its seminal figure, Manuel de la Cruz González, clarifying the origins of his work after he left the country to escape political reprisal. Makes evident the connection between González and the Venezuelan geometric-abstractionists. Well documented and illustrated, although mostly in b/w, work is one of the best studies on the subject published so far in Central America"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
