Mesoamerica: Art from Ancient Lands
01.01.08 - Ongoing
MARILYN AND BRUCE THROCKMORTON MEZZANINE
JURIED EXHIBITIONS
THEATER/LOWER LEVEL
This exhibition explores the relationship between ancient Mexican objects and 20th-century art. Created as early as 100 B.C., the ancient objects provide insights into the creativity and beliefs of Latin American indigenous cultures while Modern artworks by Diego Rivera, Rufino Tamayo, David Alfaro Siqueiros and others reveal a direct link between Mesoamerican objects and modern art forms. Inspired by the archaeological discovery and exploration of Aztec, Mayan and West Mexico Amerindian cultures, 20th-century artists recognized and appreciated the aesthetic importance and significance of these ancient cultures. For Mexico, the concept of national identity has been shaped in large part by the ongoing discovery of its own antiquity.
