"The collaboration of artist and architect in the Latin American countries has produced monuments to the integration of the arts unsurpassed for their daring and imaginative solutions to this difficult modern problem...Paul Damaz brings a penetrating insight to the special qualities of the Latin American temperament -- a dynamic fusion of European-Indian culture, contemporary political and social forces, and sensuous response to color and form -- that characterize its uninhabited attitude to the union of art and architecture. The book is handsomely illustrated throughout with more than 400 illustrations including 16 in full color."
