Cuando México emergió de su revolución en 1920, los artistas buscaron formas para responder a las nuevas formaciones de la vida pública. En búsqueda de conectar la cultura y el arte nativo con una sensibilidad modernista, nuevas representaciones, a veces románticas, de la vida campesina ocuparon un lugar central. Esta sesión explorará cómo la obra de José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Frida Kahlo, Tina Modotti, María Izquierdo y otros artistas buscaron forjar una práctica artística que respondiera a las transformaciones culturales radicales que estaban sucediendo en México en esa época.

Seeking to connect native culture and art with a modernist sensibility, new, sometimes romanticized depictions of peasant life took center stage. This session will explore how the work of José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Frida Kahlo, Tina Modotti, María Izquierdo, and others sought to forge an art form responsive to the radical cultural transformations happening in Mexico at that time.
