Review Quotes:
"Various scholars who work on Latin American art history have long noted the absence of substantive work on art academies and museums in Latin America. This timely volume is welcome and hopefully represents a trend that will continue to develop our understanding of art institutions, art practices, and cultural politics in nineteenth-century Latin American countries."
--Ray Hernández-Durán, University of New Mexico
"Academies and Schools of Art in Latin America is an ambitious collection ... It presents developments in nine different countries and across a chronology that stretches for more than a century."
--Art History
