An indepth look at the transformative influence of Mexican artists on their U.S. counterparts during a period of social changeThe first half of the 20th century saw prolific cultural exchange between the United States and Mexico, as artists and intellectuals traversed the countries shared border in both directions. For U.S. artists, Mexicos monumental public murals portraying social and political subject matter offered an alternative aesthetic at a time when artists were seeking to connect with a public deeply affected by the Great Depression. The Mexican influence grew as the artists Jos Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, and David Alfaro Siqueiros traveled to the United States to exhibit, sell their work, and make largescale murals, working sidebyside with local artists, who often served as their assistants, and teaching them the fresco technique. Vida Americana examines the impact of their work on more than 70 artists, including Marion Greenwood, Philip Guston, Isamu Noguchi, Jackson Pollock, and Charles White. It provides a new understanding of art history, one that acknowledges the wideranging and profound influence the Mexican muralists had on the style, subject matter, and ideology of art in the United States between 1925 and 1945.Published in association with the Whitney Museum of American ArtExhibition Schedule: Whitney Museum of American Art, New York(February 17May 17, 2020)McNay Art Museum, San Antonio(June 25October 4, 2020)
