Welcome to the Art of Colonial and Modern Mexico Blog


Rivera Mural at City College of San Francisco

This blog is part of a course I'm taking on the Art of Colonial and Modern Mexico with Professor Cynthia Reiss at West Valley College. I just got the textbook "Art in Latin America" by Dawn Ades for this course in the mail today, and it looks like a great book filled with lots of color photos and showing a wide variety of artwork. I'm excited for the course and can't wait until we start learning about the Muralism traditions that came out of Mexico in the vein of Diego Rivera and Fernando Leal. Living in the Bay area we have so many actual examples of Rivera murals to look at like the one on the campus of City College of San Francisco and San Francisco Art Institute.
