Description: Critical essays by Enrique Navarro -painter with more than thirty years of artistic trajectory, researcher and teacher- presenting a human perspective of six emblematic painters of western Mexico whose works have been studied in detail, but little is known about what characterized them as human beings: their fears, desires, errors, ideologies and origins. The painters have in common been born in the Mexican province the author calls the "Mexican West": Saturnino Herrán, Francisco Goitia, Juan Soriano and Dr. Atl were born in Jalisco, while Hermenegildo Bustos and José Chávez Morado were native of Guanajuato, the region called "Bajío". "His unique hypothesis rests precisely on attributing to the "more successful substrates and characteristics of the inhabitants and mentalities of the region", the origin of their creative force that "confers them a certain vision of the world and, therefore, a certain visual culture."" (HKB Translation) --Page 7.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 337-338).
