In the first half of the 20th 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 artistsÑfrom the social-realist painters Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros to the photographers Agust’n JimŽnez and Manuel çlvarez BravoÑalongside that of their international contemporaries, figures as diverse as Philip Guston, Josef and Anni Albers, and Edward Burra.
