A touring exhibit featuring a number of important Mexican painters comes to the Museo Alameda on Wednesday, June 25, 6:pm:

This exhibition provides an important insight into the society, visions, and traditions of one of our closest and most important neighbors.   Over one hundred works have been brought from the Museo Soumaya de México in this unique exhibition, representing five centuries of Mexico’s academic and popular canon.  It is a substantial and diverse presentation of the rich and complex reality of Mexican art, from the Spanish Colonial period through the mid-twentieth century.  From the indigenous myths and the role of the Catholic religion, to the modern day commentary and use of art to portray everyday life, the mysteries, ideas, and influences that form Mexican identity are revealed.  Featured artists include Rufino Tamayo, Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, José Agustín Arrieta, Juan Soriano, and David Alfaro Siqueiros.
