Description: A revolutionary look at the profound impact of Mexico and its culture on the development of American modernism

Review Quotes: "The cultural exchanges between the US and Mexico that resulted in many WPA-funded murals are well known. Also known is the interest that artists from both countries had in going back and roth to work. . . . What is not so well known is how Mexico, its art, and its artists served as a crucial component for the development of modernism in the US. Landau. . .provides readers with the important exchanges between both and their consequences for the work of US artists associated primarily with Abstract Expressionism. . . . Recommended."--Choice-- "Choice"
