Modern Mexican Printmaking At Philadelphia Museum October 21 - Pennsylvania

“While major modern Mexican artists such as José Clemente Orozco (1883–1949), Diego Rivera (1886–1957), David Alfaro Siqueiros (1896–1974) and Rufino Tamayo (1899–1991) continue to win broad acclaim for their murals and paintings, less attention has been paid to the wide-ranging impact these artists and their contemporaries had on the world of printmaking.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art, in conjunction with the Marion Koogler McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas., will open a traveling exhibition that examines the vital contributions made by Mexican artists as printmakers. “Mexico and Modern Printmaking: A Revolution in the Graphic Arts, 1920–1950,” opens at the Philadelphia Museum of Art October 21, and will be on view through January 14.”
