For U.S. artists, Mexico's monumental public murals portraying social and political subject matter offered an alternative aesthetic at a time when artists were seeking to connect with a public deeply affected by the Great Depression. The Mexican influence grew as the artists José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, and David Alfaro Siqueiros traveled to the United States to exhibit, sell their work, and make large-scale murals, working side-by-side with local artists, who often served as their assistants, and teaching them the fresco technique. \u003ci\u003eVida Americana\u003c\/i\u003e examines the impact of their work on more than 70 artists, including Marion Greenwood, Philip Guston, Isamu Noguchi, Jackson Pollock, and Charles White. It provides a new understanding of art history, one that acknowledges the wide-ranging and profound influence the Mexican muralists had on the style, subject matter, and ideology of art in the United States between 1925 and 1945. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Whitney Museum of American Art \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhitney Museum of American Art, New York\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (February 17-May 17, 2020) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMcNay Art Museum, San Antonio\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (June 25-October 4, 2020)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Haskell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300246692\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300246698\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Whitney Museum of American Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.10h x 10.10w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2020","brand":"Barbara Haskell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44047739257087,"sku":"9780300246698","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_81ad7c94-54a8-40ba-b3bc-35a617c75884.jpg?v=1684991914","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vida-americana-barbara-haskell-9780300246698","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
