The art of South America encompasses a range of hues, forms and textures, reflecting the variety of cultures and artistic perspectives endemic to the continent.  Today’s South American artists have a host of resources with which to explore and develop their art.  Many of their chosen topics deal with global concerns and experiences, reflecting a worldview that is current with the west.  But in addition to these universal concerns, theirs is also an art that reflects South America’s unique cultural and political history.
