A Guide to Mexican Art
Author: Justino Fernández
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 9780226244211
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
A Guide to Mexican Art, a survey of more than twenty centuries of art, has a double purpose. It provides an ample version of one of the great national arts by a leading art historian, and it serves simultaneously as a practical guide to the art's outstanding masterpieces. The Guide will thus be of value to specialists and students of Latin American art and to sightseers as an introduction and guide to the art and architecture of Mexico. To facilitate its use for the latter purpose, Professor Fernández has based his exposition on the sensitive analysis of works to be found almost exclusive in museums and public buildings accessible to the tourist. The book was originally published in Spanish in 1958 and revised in 1961. This English translation, from the second edition has been brought up to date by the author and translator.

Homenaje a Diego Rivera
Author: Diego Rivera
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Portrait painting, Mexican
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
The exhibition catalog of portrait paintings by Diego Rivera is an important addition to the understanding of this great 20th century master. The museum holds the world's largest collection of his easel paintings. Offered here is a large collection of works that belong to private and museum collections of portraits of those who were most important to Rivera in one way or another: some of them patrons of the arts, models or simply people who had won his admiration. The emphasis is on those works from his formative years, his time at the San Carlos Academy, his friends produced during his stay in Europe that encompass styles ranging from figurative art through symbolism, neo-impressionism and cubism.
