Muralism without Walls: Rivera, Orozco, and Siqueiros in the United States, 1927-1940 by Anna  Indych-López (University of Pittsburgh Press)

Speakers:  Renato González Mello (Professor and Researcher at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México) and Robert Storr (Dean of the School of Art at Yale University). Moderated by Anna Indych-López (Associate Professor at The City College of New York and The Graduate Center, CUNY)

By considering the visual construction of the Mexican Revolution, 1930s exhibition culture, and portable frescoes, Muralism without Walls investigates how U.S. perceptions of Mexican cultural identity shaped the muralists’ creative processes and politics. The exhibition will also explore the aesthetic and social histories of the murals themselves.
