Las imágenes y sus laberintos

Ana María Torres Arroyo

The ten essays that make up this book are the result of deep research that allow us to take a visual tour of the complex and fascinating historical period of the first half of the Mexican 20th century. The essays are studies on photography, literature, architecture, murals, prints and paintings that show fragments of the plural and diverse development of post-revolutionary visual culture through the history of certain images that allow us to establish interrelations between the political, the social and the aesthetic. Each article dismantles the traditional narratives to establish new historiographic approaches that will give clues to the reader interested in art studies, but also to the general public seduced by the images of Mexican art.
