Title: Débora Arango : vida de pintora
First published: 1997
Description: "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.
