Ever since it was founded, the Liga Estudiantes de Arte de San Juan, Puerto Rico [Students Art League of San Juan, Puerto Rico] has been involved in the development of Puerto Rican art. The Liga is a center for art education that offers classes for people of all ages, taught by well-known artists such as Luis Hernández Cruz, Jaime Romano, Augusto Marín, Jaime Suárez, John Balossi, and Carlos Collazo, among many others. The Liga de Estudiantes published Plástica magazine from 1978 through 1991. The magazine’s editorial board was committed to reporting on the Puerto Rican art community and documenting its activities. It ceased publication due to lack of financial support, a problem common to many cultural institutions in Puerto Rico. Plástica magazine, where this review was published, was an art publication that appeared fairly regularly in Puerto Rico. It began modestly enough in 1968, as the newsletter of the Liga de arte de San Juan [San Juan Art League], but changed its name in 1978 to Plástica revista de la Liga de estudiantes de San Juan [San Juan Student League Visual Arts Magazine]. Its very specific title notwithstanding, the twenty-one issues of the magazine explored a wide range of subjects within the broad parameters of Puerto Rican and Latin American art, filling its pages with retrospective coverage of subjects, such as the V Bienal de San Juan del grabado latinoamericano y del Caribe [5th San Juan Biennial of Latin American and Caribbean Prints] (1981), Puerto Rican architecture, and Latin American visual arts. The first editorial board of the magazine included Hélène Saldaña, Delta Picó, Cordelia Buitrago, and J.M. García Segovia. In addition to the many essays written by top Puerto Rican thinkers, the magazine published contributions from some of the leading Latin American artists and critics, such as Luis Camnitzer, Damián Bayón, Jacqueline Barnitz, Samuel Cherson, Joseph Alsop, Omar Rayo, and Ricardo Pau Llosa, among many others.
