Author Description

"Excellent catalog of exhibition of the same name presented at the Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea (Spain, 1995). The works of 15 artists from three generations, including Guatemalan-born Carlos Mérida and Rufino Tamayo, were selected in part for the evocative connotations of what can be identified as 'Mexican.' Texts include those of Carlos Monsiváis and Erika Billeter. Complemented with biographical and technical data, and excellent color reproductions"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
