Mexico 1900-1950 at the Dallas Museum of Art

Here are a few pictures of the special exhibit that is currently still on display at the Dallas Museum of Art. It is a wonderful collection of paintings by Mexican artists such as Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Jose Montenegro and others. It explores 50 years of Mexican modern art. Dallas is the first and only stop of this exhibit in the US after having been presented at the Grand Palais, Paris. It features almost 200 works of painting, sculpture, photography, drawings and films that document the country's artistic Renaissance during the  first half of the 20th century. The travelling exhibit showcases the work of titans of Mexican Modernism alongside that of lesser-known pioneers.
Katharine, the boys and I have seen this exhibit twice, Erik and the  girls went for the first time today. Maybe a catalog of the exhibit needs to be purchased.
