Painter Carlos Mérida described Germán Cueto as a unique case in Mexico’s modern sculpture: an unprecedented artist. The versatile sculptor participated in the strident movement that emerged from the Mexican Revolution, but also found his place within the European avant-garde, alongside figures such as Zadkine and Lipschitz.
Abundant color photographs of Cueto’s sculptures and paintings are accompanied in this book by a detailed and well-informed essay by Serge Fachereau, along with a selection of texts on the artist written by his contemporaries and unique plays by the sculptor himself.
