Stanton Loomis Catlin (February 19, 1915 – November 26, 1997) was an American art historian, specializing in Latin America.
At the war's end he served with the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration in Germany, assisting displaced persons.
Catlin was afterwards appointed by the Center for Inter-American Relations (now the Americas Society) as director of their art gallery before joining the staff of Syracuse University in 1974.
[2] He visited Mexico for the first time in 1939 on a graduate fellowship to study contemporary mural painting and met Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo and José Clemente Orozco, whose work he would later write about.
[2] In 1941 he joined that museum's project to send examples of contemporary American art on tours of ten cities in Central and South America.
[4] After the war he served in the displaced persons field operations division of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, being posted to Munich and Heidelberg in Germany.
A review in School Library Journal called Mexico a "sturdy cloth-bound book with recording inserted in its back cover".
[3] From 1994 Catlin worked with the National Autonomous University of Mexico on a long-term project on the history of Mexican mural painting.
