Publisher's Comments (cont.)
During his long career, Elias Rivera has painted the human drama as it unfolds in settings as varied as civil-rights demonstrations, subways, rodeos, and the marketplaces of Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru. This long-awaited and lavishly illustrated monograph by the Santa Fe-based artist spans forty years of his oeuvre.
Elias Rivera's paintings have a sense of the photographic, with the compositions' inhabitants captured mid-sentence, mid-stride, or mid-gesture as the late afternoon sun casts light and shadow across the scene. Rivera spent many years in New York, observing people in cafes and automats. A move to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and a trip to Guatemala in the 1980s brought a new dimension and vibrant palette to his work, establishing the Latin American paintings as his signature works. His often large-scale paintings leave viewers with the sense of actually having been there as Rivera skillfully allows us a glimpse of the everyday life of his subjects. Regardless of the particulars of culture, place, and time that appear in each painting, Elias Rivera consistently captures the essence of humanity.
