Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | In the first half of the twentieth century Mexico was home to a burgeoning of art comparable in energy to the political revolution that shook the country between 1910 and 1920. This surge of artistic activity is the subject of this compelling new book, which presents the work of Mexican artists - from social-realist painters Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros to the photographers Agustin Jiménez and Manuel Alvarez Bravo - alongside that of their international contemporaries, figures as diverse as Philip Guston, Josef and Anni Albers, and Edward Burra. This book explores the artistic documentation of the dramatic changes wrought by the revolution, the government's role in employing artists to promote its reforms, and the emergence of a native modernism. Exhibition: Royal Academy of Arts, London, UK (6.7.-29.9.2013). |
