    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    This edited volume?s chief aim is to bring together, in an English-language source, the principal histories and narratives of some of the most significant academies and national schools of art in South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean, from the late 18th to the early 20th centuries.

    The book highlights not only issues shared by Latin American academies of art but also those that differentiate them from their European counterparts. Authors examine issues including statutes, the influence of workshops and guilds, the importance of patronage, discourses of race and ethnicity in visual pedagogy, and European models versus the quest for national schools. It also offers first-time English translations of many foundational documents from several significant academies and schools.

    This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, Latin American and Hispanic studies, and modern visual cultures.



    "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."
