Gallery of Mexican Art
V oices ofMerico /January • March, 1995 41 Gallery of Mexican Art n the early the 1930s, Carolina and Inés Amor decided to give Mexico City an indispensable tool for promoting the fine arts in whatI was, at that time, an unusual way. They created a space where artists not only showed their art, but could also sell directly to people who liked their work. It was a place which gave Mexico City a modem, cosmopolitan air, offering domestic and international collectors the work of Mexico's artistic vanguard. The Gallery of Mexican Art was founded in 1935 by Carolina Amor, who worked for the publicity department at the Palace of Fine Arts before opening the gallery. That job had allowed her to form close ties with the artists of the day and to learn about their needs. In an interview, "Carito" —as she was called by her friends— recalled a statement by the then director of the Palace of Fine Arts, dismissing young artists who did not follow prevailing trends: "Experimental theater is a diversion for a small minority, chamber music a product of the court and easel painting a decoration for the salons of the rich." At that point Carolina felt her work in that institution had come to an end, and she decided to resign. She decided to open a gallery, based on a broader vision, in the basement of her own house, which her father had used as his studio. At that time, the concept of the gallery per se did not exist. The only thing approaching it was Alberto Misrachi's bookstore, which had an The gallery has a beautiful patio. -
La Vendedora De Frutas Olga Costa Representó Una Parte De La Diver- Sidad Frutícola De México: 58 Especies Y 10 Variantes
ciencia Novedades científicas Desde el Conacyt De actualidad Reseñas volumen 71 78 número 3 ciencia Juan Antonio Reyes Agüero, Claudia Heindorf y Juan Rogelio Aguirre Rivera n n nnn n n Olga Costa y la fiesta de la diversidad frutícola de México En La vendedora de frutas Olga Costa representó una parte de la diver- sidad frutícola de México: 58 especies y 10 variantes. Las frutas proce- den de distintas regiones: son mesoamericanas (46 %), les siguen las de oriente lejano (30 %), oriente cercano (13 %), las de origen sudamericano (6.0 %), y en menor cantidad (4.5 %) las de África, aunque de aquí también procede nuestra especie, Homo sapiens. Olga Costa y La vendedora de frutas n algún día de 1925, a los 12 años la niña Olga Kostakowsky Fabricant des- cendió del Espagne en el puerto de Veracruz con sus papás y su hermana Emenor, Lya. El casi imperceptible rocío de las flores, la diversidad de colores que contrastaba con el gris-guerra de Europa, los tonos morenos de la gente y los aromas de la brisa marina empezaron a diluir la nacionalidad germana y la ascen- dencia rusa de Olga. A la niña le encantaron las voces de los vendedores callejeros, el novedoso idioma español y el ambiente del hotel donde se hospedaron, pues tuvieron que esperar en vano en el puerto por sus equipajes perdidos. Esas impre- siones y muchísimas más moldearon a aquella niña ruso-germana para convertirla en Olga Costa (1913-1993), pintora mexicana de renombre, Premio Nacional de Bellas Artes en 1990. A contracorriente de los muralistas mexicanos, Olga se alejó de los dogmas estéticos que impusieron, y evitó discriminar tendencias y valores en el arte. -

Modernism Without Modernity: The Rise of Modernist Architecture in Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina, 1890-1940 Abstract : Why did machine-age modernist architecture diffuse to Latin America so quickly after its rise in Continental Europe during the 1910s and 1920s? Why was it a more successful movement in relatively backward Brazil and Mexico than in more affluent and industrialized Argentina? After reviewing the historical development of architectural modernism in these three countries, several explanations are tested against the comparative evidence. Standards of living, industrialization, sociopolitical upheaval, and the absence of working-class consumerism are found to be limited as explanations. As in Europe, Modernism -

Includes extensive files of negatives from throughout her career. A small amount of biographical materials, clippings, and publications (1901-1994) are included. The collection has been fully processed. A complete inventory is available. Quantity/ Extent 32 linear feet Language of Materials Spanish English Biographical Note Lola Álvarez Bravo was born Dolores Martínez de Anda in 1903 in Lagos de Moreno, a small city in Jalisco on Mexico's Pacific coast. She moved to Mexico City as a young child, after her mother left the family under mysterious circumstances. Her father died when she was a young teenager, and she was then sent to live with the family of her half brother. It was here that she met the young Manuel Alvarez Bravo, a neighbor. They married in 1925 and moved to Oaxaca where Manuel was an accountant for the federal government. Manuel had taken up photography as an adolescent; he taught Lola and they took pictures together in Oaxaca. Manuel also taught Lola how to develop film and make prints in the darkroom. -
Title: the Avant-Garde in the Architecture and Visual Arts of Post
1 Title: The avant-garde in the architecture and visual arts of Post-Revolutionary Mexico Author: Fernando N. Winfield Architecture_media_politics_society. vol. 1, no.3. November 2012 Mexico City / Portrait of an Architect with the City as Background. Painting by Juan O´Gorman (1949). Museum of Modern Art, Mexico. Commenting on an exhibition of contemporary Mexican architecture in Rome in 1957, the polemic and highly influential Italian architectural critic and historian, Bruno Zevi, ridiculed Mexican modernism for combining Pre-Columbian motifs with modern architecture. He referred to it as ‘Mexican Grotesque.’1 Inherent in Zevi’s comments were an attitude towards modern architecture that defined it in primarily material terms; its principle role being one of “spatial and programmatic function.” Despite the weight of this Modernist tendency in the architectural circles of Post-Revolutionary Mexico, we suggest in this paper that Mexican modernism cannot be reduced to such “material” definitions. In the highly charged political context of Mexico in the first half of the twentieth century, modern architecture was perhaps above all else, a tool for propaganda. ARCHITECTURE_MEDIA_POLITICS_SOCIETY Vol. 1, no.3. November 2012 1 2 In this political atmosphere it was undesirable, indeed it was seen as impossible, to separate art, architecture and politics in a way that would be a direct reflection of Modern architecture’s European manifestations. Form was to follow function, but that function was to be communicative as well as spatial and programmatic. One consequence of this “political communicative function” in Mexico was the combination of the “mural tradition” with contemporary architectural design; what Zevi defined as “Mexican Grotesque.” In this paper, we will examine the political context of Post-Revolutionary Mexico and discuss what may be defined as its most iconic building; the Central Library at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico. -

A Promenade Trough the Visual Arts in Carlos Monsivais Collection
A Promenade Trough the Visual Arts in Carlos Monsivais Collection So many books have been written, all over the world and throughout all ages about collecting, and every time one has access to a collection, all the alarms go off and emotions rise up, a new and different emotion this time. And if one is granted access to it, the pleasure has no comparison: with every work one starts to understand the collector’s interests, their train of thought, their affections and their tastes. When that collector is Carlos Monsiváis, who collected a little bit of everything (that is not right, actually it was a lot of everything), and thanks to work done over the years by the Museo del Estanquillo, we are now very aware of what he was interested in terms of visual art in the 20th Century (specially in painting, illustration, engraving, photography). It is only natural that some of the pieces here —not many— have been seen elsewhere, in other exhibitions, when they were part of the main theme; this time, however, it is a different setting: we are just taking a stroll… cruising around to appreciate their artistic qualities, with no specific theme. This days it is unusual, given that we are so used to looking for an overarching “theme” in every exhibition. It is not the case here. Here we are invited to partake, along with Carlos, in the pleasures of color, texture, styles and artistic schools. We’ll find landscapes, portraits, dance scenes, streetscapes, playful scenes. All executed in the most diverse techniques and styles by the foremost mexican artist of the 20th Century, and some of the 21st as well. -
