Exhibition Catalog
Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, 2021.

ISBN 9780913883464
The exhibition features selections from the museum's significant collection of Mexican modern art in a show that explores the history of the artistic renaissance in Mexico during the first half of the twentieth century and its connection to works being created by Mexican and Mexican-American artists working in the Midwest today. The collection is one of the finest and most extensive in the Midwest and includes 223 works by over 60 artists, primarily prints, photographs, and drawings by luminaries such as Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Leopoldo Mendez, José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, and Rufino Tamayo, as well as an important oil painting by Frida Kahlo. These significant modern art works are paired with contemporary artists based the United States who address analogous themes in their work, nearly a century later, as they relay their own stories that thoughtfully address topics like the border crisis, exploited Mexican labor, and the celebration of their heritage and cultural pride. Featured works by Angelica Contreras, J. Leigh Garcia, Wenceslao Martinez and his partner Sandra Martinez, Roberto Torres Mata, and Mauricio Ramirez reveal undeniable and impactful connections to the modern art of Mexico.
