{"product_id":"9780981573830","title":"Francisco Matto: The Modern and The Mythic","description":"\u003cp\u003eEstablishing congruences between Modernist abstraction and the Pre-Columbian traditions of the ancient Americas, Uruguayan artist Francisco Matto (1911-1995) was a pioneer of Latin American art, and one of the most significant students of El Taller Torres-García, the workshop school established by Joaquín Torres-García. Matto remained in his native Montevideo, Uruguay for all of his life, and was financially secure enough to not need to sell or promote his work; consequently, it rarely circulates in international exhibitions, instead remaining in the estate of the artist and a few private collections in Montevideo, New York, Houston and Belgium. \u003ci\u003eThe Modern and the Mythic\u003c\/i\u003e is the first comprehensive U.S. publication on Matto, and presents more than five decades of artistic production, from the artist's early work under Torres-García to his late works of the 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blanton Museum of Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47023868936432,"sku":"9780981573830","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780981573830_p0.jpg?v=1763879796","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780981573830","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
