This new interpretive history of Mexican art and architecture from
the Spanish Conquest to the early decades of the 21st century is
the most comprehensive introduction to the subject in fifty years.
James Oles ranges widely across media and genres, offering new
readings of paintings, murals, sculptures, buildings, prints and
photographs. He interprets major works by such famous artists as
Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, but also discusses less familiar
figures who were equally important in the construction of national
identity. The story of Mexican art is set in its rich historical
context by the book's treatment of political and social change. The
author draws on recent scholarship to examine crucial issues of
race, class and gender, including an exploration of the work of
indigenous artists during the colonial period, and of women artists
in the 19th and 20th centuries. Throughout, Oles shows how artists
in Mexico participated in local and international developments, and
highlights the important role played by Mexicans in the art world
of the last five centuries.
