Review Quotes: "If you aren't in New York to see the show, the beautifully illustrated catalog, published by Yale University Press, offers great consolation."--Carolina A. Miranda, Los Angeles Times

"Now that the pandemic has closed all museums, Vida Americana's excellent catalogue may be as much as people get to see of this magnificent coming together for the time being."--Anna Shapiro, New York Review of Books

"Provides a new understanding of art history, one that acknowledges the wide-ranging and profound influence the Mexican muralists had on the style, subject matter and ideology of art in the United States between 1925 and 1945."--Antiques and The Arts Weekly
