Orozco, Rivera e outros
na Royal Academy of Arts
«In 1910, revolution brought years of instability to Mexico
but, in its aftermath, the artistic community flourished under state
sponsored programmes designed to promote the ideals of the new regime.
This
exhibition brings together work by Mexican artists at the forefront of
the artistic movement including Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo and José
Clemente Orozco. Also on display is work by international artists and
intellectuals who were drawn to the country by its political aspirations
and the opportunities afforded to artists. Among them were Marsden
Hartley, Josef Albers, Edward Burra, Paul Strand, Henri Cartier-Bresson,
André Breton and Robert Capa.
'Mexico: A Revolution in Art,
1910-1940' reveals a cultural renaissance that drew in some of the most
seminal figures of the 20th century, all of whom were inspired by the
same subject: Mexico.»
