A comprehensive have a look at four transformative decades that put Mexico’s brand new art at the map

In the wake of the 1910–20 Revolution, Mexico emerged as a center of brand new art, closely watched world wide. Highlighted are the achievements of the tres grandes (three greats)—José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, and David Alfaro Siqueiros—and other renowned figures such as Rufino Tamayo and Frida Kahlo, but the book goes beyond these well-known names to present a fuller picture of the period from 1910 to 1950. 
 
Fourteen essays by authors from both the USA and Mexico offer a thorough reassessment of Mexican modernism from a couple of perspectives. One of the texts delve into thematic topics—developments in mural painting, the role of the government in the arts, intersections between brand new art and cinema, and the affect of Mexican art in the USA—whilst others explore specific modernist genres—such as printmaking, photography, and architecture. This beautifully illustrated book offers a comprehensive have a look at the period that brought Mexico onto the world stage right through a period of political upheaval and dramatic social change.
