Following the U.S.-Mexican War (1846-1848), lands that had for
centuries belonged to New Spain, and later to Mexico, were
transformed into the thirty-first state in the United States. This
process was facilitated by visual artists, who forged distinct
pictorial motifs and symbols to establish the state's new identity.
This collective cultural inheritance of the Spanish and Mexican
periods forms a central current of California history but has been
only sparingly studied by cultural and art historians. California
Mexicana focuses for the first time on the range and vitality of
artistic traditions growing out of the unique amalgam of Mexican
and American culture that evolved in Southern California from 1820
through 1930. A study of these early regional manifestations
provides the essential matrix out of which emerge later art and
cultural issues. Featuring painters, printmakers, photographers,
and mapmakers from both sides of the border, this collection
demonstrates how they made the Mexican presence visible in their
art. This beautifully illustrated catalogue addresses two key areas
of inquiry: how Mexico became California, and how the visual arts
reflected the shifting identity that grew out of that
transformation. Published in association with the Laguna Art
Museum, and as part of the Getty's Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA.
Exhibition dates: Laguna Art Museum: October 15, 2017-January 14,
