Description: The personal archive of modernist painter María Izquierdo (b. Jalisco, Mexico 1902-1955), previously under the care of her daughter Aurora Posadas Izquierdo, was acquired by INBA in 2005. "For several weeks the curatorial team of the museum, revised and organized photographs, catalogs, letters, manuscripts, interviews and albums carefully collected since 1928 -first by María Izquierdo and later by her daughters- newspaper clips briefing her exhibitions and trips, as well as all the articles that reveal an unknown facet of Maria Izquierdo as art critic. The archive is of inestimable value in the documentation of the career of this Mexican artist that shined in the national and international scene." (Our translation)--Page [11].
