Description
by López (Editor), John Ahearn (Contribution by), Ágnes Berecz (Contribution by)
This brand-new bi-lingual Spanish/English volume celebrates the art and career of the Bronx-born (b. 1956), Nuyorican artist, Manny Vega.
Manny Vega's art can be found in the form of mosaics and murals adorning street walls, subway stations, cultural centres, and business facades throughout New York's East Harlem. This lushly illustrated volume covers the full range of Vega's artistic output, from carefully crafted mosaics, including female figures and stylized album covers, to prints and works on paper. This bi-lingual Spanish/English study also incorporates essays that explore Vega's relationship with New York, murals as a medium, and the links between his work and music. Throughout the volume, Vega's focus on the Puerto- Rican experience in New York shines through and highlights the influence of the city's cultural mix on his unique art.
