Forest of Images
This richly illustrated exploration of the sources of Frida Kahlo's inspiration in Mexico's popular arts and folk traditions draws illuminating connections between Kahlo's highly personal creations and the aesthetic traditions that infused her early years: votive paintings, nineteenth-century studio photography (including that of her father Guillermo Kahlo), Catholic iconography, revolutionary corridos and the variegated productions of anonymous craftsmen. Readers will recognize Kahlo's centered parts and moustaches in Jose Maria Estrada's portraits and in anonymous Mexican Catholic paintings. They will see her cutaway, heart-on-sleeve self-portraits, in Jose Maria Velasco's nature studies a...

Frida Se Confiesa
Las dos Fridas: Dos pensamientos, dos personalidades, dos vidas encierran la existencia de Frida Kahlo, hoy por hoy la mujer más famosa del mundo. El primer pensamiento lo realiza Dios: ¡ Que mi Hijo Amado sea la Luz y El Creador del Universo! Obediente el Hijo, crea el tiempo y el espacio, y dentro de ésto, el cosmos. Mediante el Big Bang, parte el cosmos en dos universos paralelos. Desde el Big Bang, crea a varios personajes que colaborarán en la Obra de La Creación: El padre Rubén García Badillo, Frida Kahlo Calderón, Miguel Ángel Buonarroti, Leonardo Da Vinci, Nefertiti y Akhenatón, Albert Einstein, Juan Pablo II y Barack Obama... El segundo pensamiento se elabora en 1910, cuan...
Diego Rivera
Best known for his epic mural production, Mexican artist Diego Rivera was also an important easel painter and--as this book eloquently demonstrates--an extraordinary illustrator. This volume takes a detailed and long-overdue look at this rich and significant facet of Rivera's immense oeuvre: the illustrations he contributed to books and periodical publications over the course of his long career. Accompanying the numerous reproductions is a long and splendidly researched essay by noted art critic Raquel Tibol, an expert on the artist's work. The panorama of Rivera's themes--Modernist poetry, political issues, Mexican folklore, pre-Columbian America and many others--take the reader on a tour of the history of Mexican art in the first half of the twentieth century. Even those who think they know Rivera's work will find new aspects to explore in this beautiful book.
Miguel Covarrubias
"A major hommage of four exhibitions in four museums in Mexico City. The single catalogue documents all four exhibitions. In chronological order the exhibitions are: Collection of Carlos Monsiváis that includes work in and outside of Mexico; Retrospective vision "Geography of an Illustrator" on illustrated books, magazines and other works by Covarrubias. This exhibition includes much of his international work, in the U.S., including items on his work on Bali and African-American culture; the last two exhibitions were held at the same venue propose new approaches to the study of Covarrubias. "El Chamaco and other famous Mexicans" presented his caricatures of figures from Mexican life and culture. The exhibition "Yólotl Bali, Yólotl Tehuantepec" offered a vision of Covarrubias as archaeologist. A great reference with many detailed essays."--Provided by vendor.
Diego Rivera, acuarelas
The present exhibition was part of the national homage celebrations that mark the 50th anniversary of the death of Diego Rivera, presenting a selection of more than 50 watercolors gathered from private collections and cultural institutions that include the Museo Dolores Olmedo and Museo Franz Mayer. The collection, which includes works created through diverse time periods and in different styles "will surprise" -as curator Maria Esther Duarte comments- the public when they discover a rarely seen facet of "the most universal of the Mexican painters". Exhibition curated by María Esther Duarte and Américo Sánchez.
Revolutionary Women of Texas and Mexico
Much ink has been spilled over the men of the Mexican Revolution, but far less has been written about its women. Kathy Sosa, Ellen Riojas Clark, and Jennifer Speed set out to right this wrong in Revolutionary Women of Texas and Mexico, which celebrates the women of early Texas and Mexico who refused to walk a traditional path. The anthology embraces an expansive definition of the word revolutionary by looking at female role models from decades ago and subversives who continue to stand up for their visions and ideals. Eighteen portraits introduce readers to these rebels by providing glimpses into their lives and places in history. At the heart of the portraits are the women of the Mexican Rev...
