	CONTEMPORARY ART he world-wide context for art changed after World War II. New York replaced Paris as the center of the art world, while heightened capabilities for international travel and communications made the world a smaller and more accessible place. During the pre-war period many Latin American artists studied the language of modernism in Europe and then returned to their countries of origin to “nationalize” what they had learned. Many artists during the 1950s and 1960s, however, no longer considered themselves importers of culture, but full-fledged members of an international art world.
