Description: A clear and accurate study regarding the life and work of artist Nahui Olin (María del Carmen Mondragón Valseca, 1893-1978), a pioneer woman who, during the first half of the 20th century, experimented with a wide variety of artistic genres such as poetry, literature, performance, music and, particularly, painting. The exhibition will unravel the creative brilliance implicit in the work of this unique artist who was relegated from the historiographic studies, for she wasn't completely understood in all of her dimension, causing the oblivion of her artistic legacy. "The catalog that the reader holds in his hands documents the exhibition and brings together the work of the muse that explored musical and literary creation, painting and photography, science and sexuality as well as being considered the first caricaturist woman in Mexico" (HKB Translation) --Page 5.
Notes: Published on the occasion of the exhibition held June 15 - September 9, 2018 at Museo Nacional de Arte in Mexico CIty.
