This is a fantastic book. First most of the artists I have heard about and my wife and I had some of their prints. What sets this book apart from others is that it goes into the background of these paintings and other works. What I mean is whether the artist was coming from the revolution time, or maybe the time when they were celebrating their Indian heritage. Also goes into some artists that came from Canada that were Indian and were able to not only paint but get their works of their Indian culture from Canada published. You also get a look at essays, and poems and other written works. But really just having this book with the pictures of some of the best artists from Mexico is really what sets this book part for me. I actually came across the works of Rivera many years ago and because of that led me to Orozco, and Siqueiros, before Frida. There works are full of life, color and tell a story which is what for me attracted me to their work. Like I said this is an excellent book.
