In the first half of the 20th century Mexico was home to a burgeoning of art. This surge of artistic activity is the subject of this text, which presents the work of Mexican artists from social-realist painters to photographers alongside that of their international contemporaries who visited Mexico in search of inspiration, political sympathies or an alternative way of life.
