With the intrusion of the conquistadores, European elements defined much of the art of the16th through19th centuries. There was, however, a strong, native aesthetic language that has been constant, vigorous, expressive, distinctive and elemental for centuries before and since that 'discovery' by Columbus and company. However, this show ranges from mid-19th century color lithographs by Casimiero Castro to early 20th century broadsides by Jose Guadalupe Posada and photographs by Hugo Brehme. Depicted are children at play, documentation of political events, everyday scenes of laborers on the job, voices for social justice ,indigenous figures and troop warfare. Toledo and David Alfaro Siqueiros, etc.
