A beautiful collection of the "metamorphic" art of one one of Mexico's most prolific artists Octavio Ocampo works primarily in the metamorphic style, using a technique of superimposing and juxtaposing realistic and figurative details within the images that he creates. Ocampo is known for his sometimes wryly sardonic, sometimes evocative paintings in which detailed images are intricately woven together to create larger images—the optical illusions fading back and stepping forward as the viewer studies the pieces, notices the details, and finally recognizes the large-scale intention.

Menene Gras Balaguer's new book on Manuel Ocampo deals with more than three decades of the artist’s career, from the late 80s to the present. “Fear of a Kitsch Existence” refers to how Ocampo believe his artwork should be considered, although he leaves it open to interpretation. Balaguer has gathered around three hundred images of his artwork, some of which act as key representations of a postcolonial discourse that it is clearly explicit through all his work. This volume aims to make accessible an art work that is not always easy to understand, despite the apparent popularity of the images and their relationships to a very familiar iconography. As an illegitimate son, or a “bastard" as he calls himself and the artists of his generation, he had to appropriate the ability to misrepresent reality in order to be a free individual.

Silvina Ocampo es una de las figuras mas exquisitas, talentosas y extranas de la literatura en espanol. En torno a ella se han urdido mitos que envuelven su obra, revalorizada con entusiasmo en los ultimos anos, pero tambien su vida privada: la particular relacion que tenia con su marido, Adolfo Bioy Casares; su cambiante y chismosa amistad con Jorge Luis Borges, que cenaba cada noche en su casa; sus presuntos romances con mujeres, como la poeta Alejandra Pizarnik o la madre del propio Bioy; sus perturbadoras premoniciones; sus ambiguos conflictos con la olimpica Victoria Ocampo, su hermana mayor. En este libro, Mariana Enriquez cuestiona los mitos, descorre el velo sobre los secretos y mira con una intensidad unica la vida de quien vivio con el afan de permanecer oculta. / Silvina Ocampo is one of the most exquisite, talented figures of literature in Spanish. The meaning behind much of her work is a mystery; similarly, very little is known about her private life. In this book, Mariana Enriquez looks intensely at the life of someone that lived with the desire to remain hidden.

Brilliant second studio album from all star ska-jazz-reggae act from New York. The core line-up consists of NYC reggae/ska veterans, most notably Jamaican percussion legend LARRY McDONALD, guitarist ANDY BASSFORD, EDDIE OCAMPO, BIG DAN JESSELSOHN, BUFORD O'SULLIVAN, GIDDEON BLUMEBTHAL, and RICH GRAIKO, who co-founder the group to pay homage to 1960's era Jamaican and American instrumental music.

This book tells the story of Sur, Argentina's foremost literary and cultural journal of the twentieth century. Victoria Ocampo (its founder and lifelong editor) and Jorge Luis Borges (a regular and influential contributor) feature prominently in the story, while the contributions of other major writers (including Eduardo Mallea, William Faulkner, André Breton, Virginia Woolf, Alfonso Reyes, Octavio Paz, Waldo Frank, Aldous Huxley and Graham Greene) are discussed. Politically speaking, Sur represented a certain brand of liberalism, a resistance to populism and mass culture, and an attachment to elitist values which offended against the more dominant phases of Argentine thought, from Peronism to the varied forms of nationalism, socialism and Marxism. Dr King examines the journal's roots, its development and its demise, relating it to other journals circulating at the time, and highlighting vital issues debated in its pages, such as Argentine attitudes towards fascism during the Second World War.

Silvina Ocampo (1903-93), author of seven volumes of poetry and more than three hundred short stories, was a member of Argentina's Sur generation, the extraordinary group of writers who initiated Latin America's literary boom. Like her most distinguished contemporary, Jorge Luis Borges, Silvina Ocampo is known for her interest in the supernatural. In contrast to Borges, however, her characters are frequently women or little girls who challenge notions of female propriety at every turn. Ocampo's stories often portray a world of every-day banality in which violence, sexual transgression, and hints of the supernatural combine to question the reader's expectations of female power, freedom and creativity. The selections in this volume trace the female characters of Ocampo's stories from the entirety of her literary production. They are arranged in chronological order so that the evolution of her style is visible. One can perceive, for instance, that her early interest in surrealism returns later in her life. The uncanny sense that there is something going on beneath the surface of her narratives is a characteristic of all of them. Silvina Ocampo has for too long been a kind of insider secret for the literati of her generation. She deserves to be more widely understood as a significant contributor to the innovations of her circle, that of Borges, Bioy Casares, José Bianco and Julio Cortazar. She also deserves to take her place among the more famous Latin American women writers of her day, María Luisa Bombal (Chile), Armonia Somers (Uruguay), Rosario Castellanos, Elena Garro (Mexico) and Clarice Lispector (Brazil). She is clearly one of the twentieth century's most original voices.
