Art History Illustrated: An Art History of Mexico
August 20
5:30 pm
-
7:00 pm
This chronologically arranged lecture with art historian Brenda Edgar will begin with the monumental traditions of pre-Columbian societies like the Olmecs and the Aztecs, before turning to the transformations of Spanish colonization—Catholic imagery, the cult of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and the complex visual language of casta painting. Later, we’ll encounter Modern artists such as Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. Step across the border and discover the rich diversity of Mexican art! This program is intended for adults. Join us for our “Art History Illustrated” talk series, held the third Thursday of every month at 5:30 p.m. This monthly illustrated talk series is presented by art historian Brenda Edgar, in collaboration with The Floyd County Carnegie Library Cultural Arts Center.
