Pintura contemporánea de México
Para fortuna de la pintura mexicana, Cardoza y Aragón puso a su servicio sus palabras siempre inteligentes y apasionadas. Sus libros sobre pintura son un viaje a través del tiempo, de los espacios y de la luz. El trayecto da principio con una definición de los ojos con que el poeta ve la pintura: “Aborrezco de los críticos de arte”. En este libro arroja luz sobre pintores tan disímiles como Toledo, Kahlo, Tamayo, Mérida, Gerzso, Rojo, Cuevas, Soriano, Carrington, entre otros, y examina la Escuela Mexicana y el muralismo con una lucidez y una justicia inéditas.

Buen Gusto and Classicism in the Visual Cultures of Latin America, 1780-1910
The promotion of classicism in the visual arts in late eighteenth and nineteenth-century Latin America and the need to “revive” buen gusto (good taste) are the themes of this collection of essays. The contributors provide new insights into neoclassicism and buen gusto as cultural, not just visual, phenomena in the late colonial and early national periods and promote new approaches to the study of Latin American art history and visual culture. The essays examine neoclassical visual culture from assorted perspectives. They consider how classicism was imposed, promoted, adapted, negotiated, and contested in myriad social, political, economic, cultural, and temporal situations. Case studies show such motivations as the desire to impose imperial authority, to fashion the nationalist self, and to form and maintain new social and cultural ideologies. The adaptation of classicism and buen gusto in the Americas was further shaped by local factors, including the realities of place and the influence of established visual and material traditions.
Concise Encyclopedia of Mexico
Concise Encyclopedia of Mexico includes approximately 250 articles on the people and topics most relevant to students seeking information about Mexico. Although the Concise version is a unique single-volume source of information on the entire sweep of Mexican history-pre-colonial, colonial, and moderns-it will emphasize events that affecting Mexico today, event students most need to understand.
The Mobility of Modernism
Presenting a paradigm-shifting view of early Latin American modernism, this book looks at how a transnational intellectual community of writers and critics forged an anticolonial aesthetic based in abstract artistic forms.
