Description
A comprehensive history of Mexican art spans five centuries, from the Spanish Conquest to the early twenty-first century. This new interpretive history draws widely across media and genres, offering fresh perspectives on painting, sculpture, architecture, prints, and photographs. James Oles examines major works by famous artists such as Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, while also discussing less familiar figures in history and landscape painting, muralism, and conceptual art. The book sets the story of Mexican art within its rich historical context, exploring crucial issues of race, class, and gender, including the work of indigenous artists during the colonial period. By considering both native and foreign-born artists, Oles highlights the important role played by Mexicans in the global art scene over the last five centuries.
