Jacobo Borges


Author / Autor: Dore Ashton


The most complete study of Venezuelan artist, Jacobo Borges (1931), known here and abroad for his fundamental contributions to the new figuration, came about because the publisher took the initiative to publish a book on his friend, Jacobo Borges, and chose the North American art critic Dore Ashton to write the text. The book is presented as an exciting and, at the same time, lucid saga of Borgian bio-iconography, with a precise explanatory periodization of the artist's different creative periods and an extensive series of illustrations of art works that constitute a coherent detailed reinforcement of the interpretative line of the author.

El más completo estudio del artista venezolano más conocido nacional e internacionalmente por sus aportes fundadores y fundamentales a la nueva figuración, Jacobo Borges (1931), se debe sin duda a la escritora norteamericana Dore Ashton. Este libro se presenta como una apasionante y a la vez lúcida saga de la bio-iconografía borgiana, con una precisa y explicativa periorización de las diversas épocas creativas del artista, y con una extensa serie de ilustraciones de obras de arte que se constituye en un coherente y pormenorizado refuerzo de la línea interpretativa de la autora.
