Mexican art
Creative works from below Texas
Mexican art encompasses the visual arts produced in Mexico, from pre-Columbian sculpture and architecture through colonial religious painting to the 20th-century muralist movement.
The term often evokes the bold, politically engaged work of Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, and David Alfaro Siqueiros, who drew on indigenous traditions and revolutionary themes.
Folk arts like Oaxacan wood carvings, Talavera pottery, and Day of the Dead imagery also fall under the umbrella: The gallery specializes in Mexican art from the colonial period.
