It was the love of Central American art that brought co-authors Suzanne Brooks Snider and Mark Morgan Ford, of Ford Fine Art, together more than a decade ago.
A labor of love and passion project for the two, Snider and Ford spent eight years writing and researching their new book, Central American Modernism/Modernismo en Centroamérica.
A large, coffee table-sized 7-lb. tome, consisting of more than 300 pages in English and Spanish and organized by country, the book focuses on the art of that region, which they say has been overlooked by the international art world.
“We hope this book brings attention to the art and artists in this part of the world, which have been historically discounted and under-represented,” Snider says. “The time has come to give Central American modernist art and the artists who created these works the respect they deserve. And we hope that writing this book will give them the exposure that is long overdue.”
