Jes#65533;s Soto (1923-2005) was a Venezuelan painter and sculptor renowned for his kinetic artwork: from interactive metal and plastic sculptures to his dramatic architectural hangings.  These fascinating interviews (presented in English and Spanish) were undertaken over the course of several years. They are published here for the first time, offering us an unprecedented opportunity to understand his remarkable contributions to Latin American art. Also revealed is an essential account of the key moments of a long and fruitful life, from his simple childhood to his key role in the development of kineticism in Paris in the 1950s and '60s. Reproduced throughout are important representative works from Soto’s career.
