A broad discussion of recent scholarship on Mexican art and architecture from the colonial period to the present, by leading scholars who will speak from their specific area of expertise. The pretext for the debate is the publication of Art and Architecture in Mexico by Wellesley College professor James Oles. The most comprehensive introduction to the subject in fifty years, this book ranges widely across media and genres, offering new readings of painting, sculpture, architecture, prints, and photographs.
