An in-depth look at the transformative influence of Mexican artists
on their U.S. counterparts during a period of social change The
first half of the 20th century saw prolific cultural exchange
between the United States and Mexico, as artists and intellectuals
traversed the countries' shared border in both directions. For U.S.
artists, Mexico's monumental public murals portraying social and
political subject matter offered an alternative aesthetic at a time
when artists were seeking to connect with a public deeply affected
by the Great Depression. The Mexican influence grew as the artists
Jose Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, and David Alfaro Siqueiros
traveled to the United States to exhibit, sell their work, and make
large-scale murals, working side-by-side with local artists, who
often served as their assistants, and teaching them the fresco
technique. Vida Americana examines the impact of their work on more
than 70 artists, including Marion Greenwood, Philip Guston, Isamu
Noguchi, Jackson Pollock, and Charles White. It provides a new
understanding of art history, one that acknowledges the
wide-ranging and profound influence the Mexican muralists had on
the style, subject matter, and ideology of art in the United States
between 1925 and 1945. Published in association with the Whitney
Museum of American Art Exhibition Schedule: Whitney Museum of
