We present the second edition of this magnificent work with an introduction by Carlos Pellicer, Mexican poet and museographer, who describes Mexican art from the pre-Hispanic era, referencing various codices such as the Aubin and Dresden, Mayan and Aztec sculpture, colonial art, and, finally, modern art, from the mid-19th century to the present, with mural painting. "Mexican mural painting of this century emerged at the moment when a group of artists with a revolutionary vision of art and social life began to paint, under the auspices of the public authorities, the life of their people and their history."
