Mercedes Pardo

"Formative monograph on Mercedes Pardo, one of Venezuela's pioneering women artists who dared to join the contemporary art scene of Venezuela when she joined the Escuela de Artes Plásticas y Aplicadas in Caracas in 1941. Includes essays by María Fernanda Palacios, Elizabeth Schon, and Gloria Carnevali; and chronology and bibliography by Luisa Pérez Gil. Fully illustrated in b/w and color, book follows evolution of Pardo's work through its many stylistic variations and expressions, although she is better known outside Venezuela for her geometric work"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
