Dance and the Arts in Mexico, 1920-1950 tells the story of the arts
explosion that launched at the end of the Mexican revolution, when
composers, choreographers, and muralists had produced
state-sponsored works in wide public spaces. The book assesses how
the "cosmic generation" in Mexico connected the nation-body and the
dancer's body in artistic movements between 1920 and 1950. It first
discusses the role of dance in particular, the convergences of
composers and visual artists in dance productions, and the
allegorical relationship between the dancer's body and the
nation-body in state-sponsored performances. The arts were of
critical import in times of political and social transition, and
the dynamic between the dancer's body and the national body shifted
as the government stance had also shifted. Second, this book
examines more deeply the involvement of US artists and patrons in
this Mexican arts movement during the period. Given the power
imbalance between north and south, these exchanges were vexed.
Still, the results for both parties were invaluable. Ultimately,
this book argues in favor of the benefits that artists on both
sides of the border received from these exchanges.
