Praised by Mexico’s greatest cultural luminaries for his work’s vivacity, individuality, and uninhibited emotion, Ángel’s paintings are immersed in the rich bohemian world of Mexico City in the 1920s and explore themes of national identity, urban life, and modernity. While much of the scholarship surrounding the artist has focused on the circumstances of his untimely death, essays by Mark A. Castro and Mireida Velázquez shift the spotlight to Ángel’s innovative and enduring work and how it reflects the broader political, social, and cultural currents that were transforming Mexico in the wake of the country’s violent revolution. This beautifully illustrated volume reassesses the artist’s legacy and draws readers into the world of one of the most unique painters in the history of Mexican art. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Distributed for the Dallas Museum of Art\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDallas Museum of Art\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (September 10, 2023–January 28, 2024)\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMuseo de Arte Moderno, Mexico City\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (March 14–July 14, 2024)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40930394996833,"sku":"9780300273250","price":29.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/stand_15267147_jpg.jpg?v=1705534796","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780300273250-abraham-angel","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
