Abstract (en)

Focuses on painters who traveled to Central and South America. Considers the following issues: the effect of a Latin American sojourn on artists' subsequent work--especially landscape painting; the emerging sentiment in the North of pan-Americanism; the quest for a New World cosmogony; and the influence of Romantic literature and notions of exoticism.
