Art And Architecture In Mexico by James Oles
A richly illustrated survey of Mexican visual culture that traces developments from pre-Columbian and colonial eras through the revolutionary surge of muralism to contemporary artistic and architectural practice. It emphasizes how indigenous traditions, European influences, religion, politics and modernity combined to shape public monuments, civic architecture and everyday objects, and it considers the roles of artists, architects and state institutions in constructing national identity. Through case studies of major sites, movements and figures the book explores urban planning, preservation and the contested meanings of public space, showing how art and architecture reflect and shape Mexico’s social and historical transformations.
