Mexico A Revolution in Art, 1910 to 1940

The Sackler Wing 2009-2013 Season supported by JTI. Supported by Conaculta, Visit Mexico, Sectur, Mexican Agency for International Development Cooperation and Art Mentor Foundation Lucerne

This exhibition brings together extraordinary works created during the tumultuous period that followed the 1910 revolution.

State sponsored artistic programmes allowed Mexican greats including Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros and José Clemente Orozco to flourish, while international artists and photographers were drawn to a nation experiencing a thrilling cultural renaissance, among them Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa and Edward Burra.

Works by all of these artists and more have been assembled in what The Observer calls a ‘terrific time-lapse sequence’, allowing you to see Mexico through the eyes of the artists it inspired.
