México 1900–1950 offers an unprecedented survey of Mexican art from the turn of the century through the Revolution (1910–20) and until the early 1950s. It examines key works across different mediums by major Mexican artists, including Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, and José Clemente Orozco, as well as by lesser-known figures and women artists. The catalogue showcases Mexican modern art as its own distinct avant-garde, fundamentally different from that of Europe. Although many Mexican artists lived and practiced in Paris during the early decades of the 20th century, they eventually returned home and drew extensively from themes surrounding nationhood and Mexico’s rich, mythical past, poignantly articulating their country’s revolutionary ideals, traditions, and aspirations. Over 250 illustrations foreground this wholly original and sweeping study of Mexico as a hotbed for modernism and artistic achievement.

This book analyzes, from six standpoints, the different ways in which artists have represented the male nude body from modernity to the present day. A hundred and seventy-two works of art created in various techniques and belonging to collections from all over the world engage in a dialogue that originates in modern eighteenth century Europe, when the canon of classical antiquity was revived and identity between moral virtue and strength was assessed to define the heroic man.
