| Zusammenfassung: | "This stunning book unites for the first time the pioneering work of six artists and designers: Clara Porset, Lola Álvarez Bravo, Anni Albers, Ruth Asawa, Cynthia Sargent, Sheila Hicks. Inspired by both local traditions and modern methods, these women made art that reflected and contributed to Mexico's rich artistic landscape at the height of the modern period. Their work--which included furniture design, jewelry, photography, photomurals, prints, sculpture, and textiles--was rooted in modernism and grounded in abstraction. This constellation of like-minded practitioners shared an affinity for Mexico, a country all lived in or visited between the 1940s and the 1970s. In bringing their works together, this book offers an entirely new lens on modernism in Mexico. Exploring the artistic culture of the country's postrevolutionary period, this book contains reproductions from the exhibition catalogue--no longer in print--that accompanied Clara Porset's groundbreaking 1952 exhibition in Mexico City Art in Daily Life as well as stunning illustrations of each artist's work. Essays written by an international team of esteemed scholars tell a more complete and nuanced story of Mexico's role as a center of modern art and design"-- |

Inspired by both local traditions and modern methods, these women made art that reflected and contributed to Mexico's rich artistic landscape at the height of the modern period. Their work--which included furniture design, jewelry, photography, photomurals, prints, sculpture, and textiles--was rooted in modernism and grounded in abstraction. This constellation of like-minded practitioners shared an affinity for Mexico, a country all lived in or visited between the 1940s and the 1970s. In bringing their works together, this book offers an entirely new lens on modernism in Mexico. Exploring the artistic culture of the country's postrevolutionary period, this book contains reproductions from the exhibition catalogue--no longer in print--that accompanied Clara Porset's groundbreaking 1952 exhibition in Mexico City Art in Daily Life as well as stunning illustrations of each artist's work. Essays written by an international team of esteemed scholars tell a more complete and nuanced story of Mexico's role as a center of modern art and design"-- Albers, Anni 1899-1994 (DE-588)119097257 gnd rswk-swf Porset, Clara 1895-1981 (DE-588)132002965 gnd rswk-swf Asawa, Ruth 1926-2013 (DE-588)129395587 gnd rswk-swf Sargent, Cynthia 1922-2006 (DE-588)1198355727 gnd rswk-swf Álvarez Bravo, Lola 1907-1993 (DE-588)119184540 gnd rswk-swf Hicks, Sheila 1934- (DE-588)118704583 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1940-1980 gnd rswk-swf Design (DE-588)4011510-0 gnd rswk-swf Kunst (DE-588)4114333-4 gnd rswk-swf Mexiko (DE-588)4039058-5 gnd rswk-swf Modernism (Art) / Mexico / Exhibitions Art, Mexican / 20th century / Exhibitions DESIGN / Decorative Arts ART / History / Modern (late 19th Century to 1945) ART / Caribbean & Latin American Art, Mexican Modernism (Art) Mexico 1900-1999 Exhibition catalogs (DE-588)4135467-9 Ausstellungskatalog Art Institute of Chicago 06.09.2019-12.01.2020 Chicago, Ill. gnd-content Porset, Clara 1895-1981 (DE-588)132002965 p Álvarez Bravo, Lola 1907-1993 (DE-588)119184540 p Albers, Anni 1899-1994 (DE-588)119097257 p Asawa, Ruth 1926-2013 (DE-588)129395587 p Sargent, Cynthia 1922-2006 (DE-588)1198355727 p Hicks, Sheila 1934- (DE-588)118704583 p Mexiko (DE-588)4039058-5 g Kunst (DE-588)4114333-4 s Design (DE-588)4011510-0 s Geschichte 1940-1980 z DE-604 Ryan, Zoë 1976- (DE-588)135912598 edt Art Institute of Chicago (DE-588)1004734-7 isb |
