House of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo by Juano Gorman The house of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo was designed by architect and artist, Juano Gorman, one of the pioneers and most complex figures of Mexican Modernism. The architect was a good friend of Diego Rivera and that’s how Diego let him design the house. The house being the first construction of modern movement in the American continent became a huge controversy because it was the first house in Mexico to break the aesthetic paradigm of architecture. And it also combined the Mexican architecture and architecture mural with functionalism. O’Gorman was inspired from the writings of Le Corbusier and wanted to design for their intentional functions but at minimum economic expenditure and effort

    “Poems differ as much as the people who write and read them, or as much as music and movies do” (Mays 846).

  • Analysis Of En El Hoyo By Juan Carlos Rulfo

    1140 Words  | 3 Pages

    Juan Carlos Rulfo provides an interesting example of the more paradoxical nature of political engagement in documentary. Rulfo’s En el hoyo (2006) deservedly became one of the paradigmatic examples of the genre in Mexico. It documents the story of the construction workers involved in building the upper tier of Mexico City’s Periférico Avenue, a landmark public works project of then left-wing presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s administration as city mayor. MacLaird reads the film as a cultural product that “sustains reverence for the lower socioeconomic classes that López Obrador’s campaign had initiated, [but] with a more subdued tone than the political rallies and without the condescension and misery painted by the stylized

  • Essay On The Chicano Art Movement

    Much of the Art and its artists creating the Chicano Art were mostly influenced by the Chicano Art Movement. The Chicano Art was influenced mostly by the Pre-Columbian Art, Post Mexican Revolution ideologies, European Painting techniques, and the social, political, and cultural issues affecting the Mexican American society. The Chicano Art movement was solely created to resist and question the dominant social norms, self-determination, and stereotypes for cultural independence (Simpson, 1980). The Chicano Art Movement, also known as the Chicano Renaissance, widely used art a weapon of their struggle to achieve credible human values. They proclaimed their invention through inventive projects that connected artists, musicians, poets, and dancers into major political fronts of El movimiento. In the mid-1970's, artists who participated in the Chicano Art movement had become producers of visual arts with posters and mural becoming the ubiquitous purveyors of the visual culture of

As noted in the film old women are the ones who tell the stories, and have “magical powers.” But Mina is unaware of her grandmothers power of perception, and in the story Mina learns that her grandmother is quite aware of Mina’s actions.

  • Analysis Of Jose Vasconcelos's La Raza Cosmica

    1243 Words  | 3 Pages

    Jose Vasconcelos’s “La Raza Cosmica” is definitely not what I expected, it required me multiple reads to understand José Vasconcelos point of view. The essays turns out to be pretty racist, as his theories are buried under explanations and reasoning hard to comprehend. In my opinion Jose Vasconcelo gets too caught up in metaphors that detract from his true meaning and theories. “La Raza Cosmica” reads more like a science fiction than a call to unity or nationalism. If Jose Vasconcelo had published this book as a work of fiction with the current title, I believe he would have accomplished both his goal of writing the book and explaining his theories to the general public as George Orwell had done with the novella “Animal Farm”.
