<b>A comprehensive look at four transformative decades that put Mexico's modern art on the map</b> <p> In the wake of the 1910-20 Revolution, Mexico emerged as a center of modern art, closely watched around the world. Highlighted are the achievements of the <i>tres grandes </i>(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. <p> Fourteen essays by authors from both the United States and Mexico offer a thorough reassessment of Mexican modernism from multiple perspectives. Some of the texts delve into thematic topics--developments in mural painting, the role of the government in the arts, intersections between modern art and cinema, and the impact of Mexican art in the United States--while others explore specific modernist genres--such as printmaking, photography, and architecture. This beautifully illustrated book offers a comprehensive look at the period that brought Mexico onto the world stage during a period of political upheaval and dramatic social change. <p>Published in association with the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes, Mexico City <br><p> <br>Exhibition Schedule: </p><p><b>Philadelphia Museum of Art</b><br> (10/25/16-01/08/17)</p><p><b>Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes, Mexico City</b><br> (02/03/17-04/30/17)<br> </p><p><b>Museum of Fine Arts, Houston</b><br> (June-September 2017)</p>
