ART AS A MEAN OF COMMUNICATION WITH THE SOUL MARIA IZQUIERDO 1/3 – Most of his works are preserved abroad and many other works are lost. She is known to be the first Mexican woman to have brought her

Diego Rivera, in full Diego María Concepción Juan Nepomuceno Estanislao de la Rivera y Barrientos Acosta y Rodríguez, (born December 8, 1886, Guanajuato, Mexico—died November 25, 1957, Mexico City), Mexican painter whose bold large-scale murals stimulated a revival of fresco painting in Latin America. A government scholarship enabled Rivera to study art at the Academy of San Carlos in Mexico City from age 10, and a grant from the governor of Veracruz enabled him to continue his studies in Europe in 1907. He studied in Spain and in 1909 settled in Paris, where he became a friend of Pablo Picasso,

European art always seems to get top billing. The good news is that a show in Dallas has the strength to change all of that.

As Mexican writer Elena Poniatowska once said: "María Izquierdo represented Mexicanness better than Frida Kahlo, not in her folklore but in her essence."

Frida Kahlo painted portraits of people other than herself, but they're not as well known. Here, we dive into five of the best.

Frida Kahlo (1907 – 1954) was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artefacts of Mexico. Inspired by the country's popular culture, she employed a naïve folk art style to explore questions of identity, postcolonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society. Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. In addition to belonging to the post-revolutionary Mexicayotl movement, which sought to define a Mexican identity, Kahlo has been described as a surrealist or magical realist. She is known for painting about her experience of chronic pain.

Criselda Vasquez is a painter. Perhaps accidentally, she is also an activist. Criselda went to The San Francisco Art Institute to study art. By trade and by profession she is an artist. In her paintings, Criselda accurately captures the faces of her family and those closest to her. In each brushstroke, each shadow, each touch of a different shade on her subjects’ faces tells a story of a hard life full of sacrifice and fight – a relatable pain most immigrants face as they leave loved ones, parents, and children alike, for a better life. When Criselda posted her "The New American Gothic" painting in May of last year, we all instantly became captivated by the message the emotion and the honesty behind her painting. In the masterpiece, Criselda powerfully catches her mother and her father’s expressions after a long day of work. As they hold cleaning supplies and stand in front of a red Chevy truck, her mother looks strong yet gentle and graceful while her father is focused and serious - perhaps the beautiful combination and balance that has helped carry the family through many obstacles. In her Instagram caption, Criselda pays homage to her parents not only through her paintings but through her words. She expressed “Sadly, they strive to be invisible every day. They don’t have to pretend to illustrate the invisible. They have dealt with constant rejection, suspicion, and fear so long, that it seems now that it comes naturally to them”. It has been hailed as a representation of not only the suffering of our people, but also the quiet, harmless, and gentle fight behind their need to have a better life. Criselda reminds us that it is those with a modest life path that needs to be applauded for their resilience. While they fight to find better, they don’t do it with the intention of harming anyone else. They are accepting of their current circumstances without giving up hopes for better ones in the future. They have the unbreakable spirits and they should be applauded for surviving against all odds. © 2019.

Sex sells – and the message couldn’t have been any clearer when it came to advertising in post-revolutionary Mexico. Images of beautiful people served a multitude of purposes: a nationalistic one to quite blatantly plug the new regime, that of a new bountiful and fertile country, modern, productive and populated by good-looking folks from a…

This painting reminds me stylistically of some of the German expressionists, such as George Grosz and Otto Dix in particular.
