Title: Cordelia Urueta
Description: After the development of a figurative and nationalist phase, and because of the visual limitations Cordelia Urueta developed, she explored new forms of expression where the shape, color, rhythms, textures and atmospheres took a prominent place. However, the artist was able to come and go within the abstraction in order to make compositions that show her noticeable concern for dehumanization, violence, repression, and the destruction of nature; issues determined by the war episodes that she witnessed during her childhood in the Mexican Revolution, and later in the Second World War.
