"Lo feo de este mundo: Images of the Grotesque"

The 20th-century Latin artists featured in the Blanton's exhibition "Lo feo de este mundo: Images of the Grotesque" recognize beauty's tyranny with a special fervor, creating works that directly reject it with humor, boldness, and great intensity.

"...Bay observes. "In other words, scores which don't just Mickey Mouse what's on the screen. The Aaron Copland scores..."
