Mexican Modern Painting from the Andrés Blaisten Collection

The Andrés Blaisten Collection is one of the premiere collections of 20th-century Mexican art. Assembled over the last 25 years, the collection normally resides at its permanent home at the Centro Cultural Universitario Tlatelolco. The San Diego Museum of Art will host a selection of 80paintings dated between 1907 and 1956 from this renowned collection. This exhibition is a part of a traveling tour of the Blaisten Collection. The exhibited artists include well-known painters María Izquierdo, Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Rufino Tamayo, and many others. In addition to these important painters, there are several painters with works in the exhibition that might be new to San Diego audiences such as Alfonso Michel, Federico Cantú, and Angel Zárraga.

Mexican Modern Painting was organized by the Phoenix Art Museum and The San Diego Museum of Art in cooperation with the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
