  Baroque Art and Architecture - MSN Encarta
Baroque Art and Architecture, the style dominating the art and architecture of Europe and certain European colonies in the Americas throughout the 1600s, and in some places, until 1750.
A number of its characteristics continue in the art and architecture of the first half of the 18th century, although this period is generally termed rococo (see Rococo Style) and corresponds roughly with King Louis XV of France.
The intensity and immediacy of baroque art and its individualism and detail—observed in such things as the convincing rendering of cloth and skin textures—make it one of the most compelling periods of Western art.

 News & Views
This book by a Mexican art historian, with a prologue by Michael Ragon, the French writer and historian who was among Goeritz’s Parisian friends, is the first to deal exhaustively with the life and work, so tightly intertwined, of this German artist whose artistic maturity came about in the Mexico of the 1940s.
The first section is devoted to Goeritz’s geographic cosmopolitism (born in Berlin, sojourns in Morocco and Spain, settlement in Mexico) and to his precocious, rich, and varied artistic education, accompanied by theoretical writings and manifestos on the function of art and the situation of the artist.
The manifest Los Hartos, where Mathias Goeritz reiterates once again his critical position against “the lack of spirituality in art and artist’s growing individualism,” which according to him are the causes of the crisis of art in the 1960s and 1970s, can be re-read under the light of current debates about the definition of art.
