Program Description

Event Details

Art historian Jeff Mishur presents on four Latin American artists active in the 1920s and 1930s, including Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, José Clemente Orozco, and Frida Kahlo.

This slide lecture examines the relationship these artists had with a 1920s cultural and educational reform movement in Mexico known as "Indigenismo" or "Mexicanidad." Promoted especially by José Vasconcelos, Minister of Education, this movement emphasized Mexico's folk traditions and precolumbian roots.

Jeff Mishur will be presenting from Zoom, not in the library.
