Description: "Luis Gispert's work cannily explores and confronts familiar aspects of youth culture, art history, hip-hop music, and, most recently, the artist's own Cuban American background. His large-scale photographs, mounted on their glossy supports, feature ethnically diverse groups of cheerleaders enacting poses that are variously derived from canonical art history - for example, the Renaissance period (Antonio Pollaiuolo) or the Conceptual art movement (Bruce Nauman) - global religions, or popular culture. Luis Gispert: Loud Image represents a profound critique of various dominant cultures and subcultures in contemporary American life, including issues of ethnicity, youth, power, and beauty."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references.
Issued in connection with an exhibition held June 6-Sept. 19, 2004, at the Hood Museum of Art.
