North and South American Latin Art has its origins in many
indigenous cultures. As each of these streams grafted and
blended with Spanish, Portuguese and even French-baroque
influence after the 16th century they evolved into somewhat
unique schools.
During the Colonial Period, the influence of religion was marked -
the mixture of Indigenous traditions and European influences
(mainly due to the Christian teachings of Franciscan, Augustinian
and Dominican Friars) produced a form of art called Arte
Indocristiano.
From the early twentieth century, the art of Latin America was
greatly inspired by the Constructivist Movement which was
founded in Russia around 1913 by Vladimir Tatlin. The Movement
quickly spread from Russia to Europe and then into Latin America.
Joaquin Torres Garcia and Manuel Rendón have been credited
with bringing the Constructivist Movement into Latin America
from Europe.
