Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Presentación / María Cristina García Cepeda -- Prólogo / Lidia Camacho Camacho This volume surveys the public and decorative works executed by artist Manuel Felguérez (b. 1928) from the 1960s to the present day. The range of projects includes the murals he has created in movie theatres, public swimming pools, and various institutional buildings, often designed in the form of puzzles, out of recycled materials, including everything from scrap metal to oyster shells. Some of these murals have been irremediably lost, while others have been salvaged from destruction and oblivion, in some cases transferred to other locations, where we can continue to enjoy them. The public art of Felguérez is a part of the landscape of important cities both in Mexico and abroad. It can be found on university campuses, on the premises of corporations, and in private homes. His abstract, monumental forms appropriate the surrounding space in an interplay of natural geometries and mathematical calculations that strike a fine balance between order and chaos. Felguérez's long and prolific career has secured him a place as one of the most significant artists in the Mexico of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries |
