The first comprehensive review of an exceptionally rich, fascinating and complex art, covering the major subjects and issues from 1900 to the present day: Magic Realism, Expressionism and other concepts shared with Latin American literature; the great muralists Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros and José Clemente Orozco; the continuing interest in folk art; the dialogue between avant-garde European and American movements and 'indigenist' thinking in the work of such artists as Wifredo Lam, Matta, Rufino Tamayo and Frida Kahlo.
