The Whitney Museum, NYC, presents: “Vida Americana: Mexican Muralists Remake American Art, 1925–1945”.
“Mexico underwent a radical cultural transformation at the end of its Revolution in 1920. A new relationship between art and the public was established, giving rise to art that spoke directly to the people about social justice and national life… It galvanized artists in the United States who were seeking to break free of European aesthetic domination to create publicly significant and accessible native art.”
The exhibition contains about 200 works by 60 Mexican and American artists, including José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, and David Alfaro Siqueiros.
