A Century of Revolution: Mexican Art since 1910

September 1 – November 21, 2010

The 1910 Revolution in Mexico was the starting point in a series of struggles that brought political and social change. Each turning point in the conflict prompted a flurry of artistic creativity. A Century of Revolution illustrates these visions for revolution through the renowned collections of Mexican art housed at the University of Texas, Austin and private collections. This exhibition is divided into four themes – Revolutions in Form, Theaters of Revolution, Student Revolutions and Revolutionary Identities. Featured artists include Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, José Guadalupe Posada, Arnold Belkin, José Luis Cuevas, Rocio Maldonado and more.
