"If you aren't in New York to see the show, the beautifully illustrated catalog, published by Yale University Press, offers great consolation."--Carolina A. Miranda, Los Angeles Times "Now that the pandemic has closed all museums, Vida Americana 's excellent catalogue may be as much as people get to see of this magnificent coming together for the time being."--Anna Shapiro, New York Review of Books "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."-- Antiques and The Arts Weekly, "Now that the pandemic has closed all museums, Vida Americana 's excellent catalogue may be as much as people get to see of this magnificent coming together for the time being."--Anna Shapiro, New York Review of Books
Synopsis
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 José 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.
