Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | In 1915, after having left Mexico and already settled in Madrid, Alfonso Reyes wrote his second published work and one of his best-known texts: Vision of Anahuac (1519), This exhibition displays a recreation of the look that Spanish navigators had at meet in the Valley of Mexico for the first time. Under the curatorship of Cora Falero Ruiz and Arturo López Rodríguez, the exhibition Visión de Anáhuac. Alfonso Reyes offers an image reading of the story based on 176 objects including paintings, photographs, pre-Hispanic sculptures, codices and historiographical sources from eight museums of the National Institute of Anthropology and History, 17 public and private collections, and 12 private collections. Divided into four sections, the work begins by describing the basin of Lake Texcoco seen from afar; the look and the prose continue with the city of Tenochtitlan when discovering the sounds of the streets and canals, reliving the merriment of the market and the plaza and then culminating in the meeting with the ruler Motecuhzoma. In a poetic way, the text penetrates the beauty of the Mesoamerican flora to reveal its importance among ancient peoples and its link with poetry. Reyes's work is a record of astonishment, an essay that goes back and forth from the prose poem to the historical chronicle, and that revalues the past and the meaning of the violent and unusual contact between two worlds, reason enough for the National Museum of Anthropology is inspired by her for a new exhibition project on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the meeting between Hernán Cortés and Motecuhzoma. Under the curatorship of Cora Falero Ruiz and Arturo López Rodríguez, the exhibition Visión de Anáhuac. Alfonso Reyes offers an image reading of the story based on 176 objects including paintings, photographs, pre-Hispanic sculptures, codices and historiographical sources. |
