Miradas: Ancient Roots in Modern Mexican Art Works from the Bank of America Collection
The Tucson Museum of Art proudly presents a selection of Mexican works of art from one of the leading corporate collections in the United States. Bank of America鈥檚 extensive art collection represents a multitude of genres and media by nationally and internationally acclaimed artists. These historic objects and contemporary works of art are regularly on display in their public bank galleries, at corporate office throughout the world, and in museum exhibitions such as this one.
Miradas examines some of the work created by artists of Mexican descent who documented the culture they observed. In keeping with the philosophy of Cultura Sin Fronteras (culture without borders), the survey of artists in this exhibition reveals some common artistic theories and cultural aspects that have developed since the end of the Mexican Revolution 1910-1920.
Many artists of Mexican descent working in the United States continue to implement social ideas and educational theories first taken up by modern Mexican artists at the end of the Mexican Revolution. They also understand and react to the sociopolitical climate in the United States and the global art and theories of the second half of the twentieth century, incorporating their contemporary regional politics within a broad understanding of their diverse heritages. The Miradas exhibition allows us to survey this rich trajectory.
