The period from 1945 to 1985 is when the metropolis consolidated itself as an important cultural center. However, this time frame excludes the controversial and important presence of the Mexican muralists. It is often perceived that the city’s Mexican culture comes from elsewhere, when in fact it originated locally—it was in Los Angeles and Southern California where José Vasconcelos, Ricardo Flores Magón, Octavio Paz, and other intellectuals developed the idea of modern Mexico. The purpose of this exhibition is to understand how nationalism and internationalism are constructions of modernism that are not necessarily exclusive but often complementary and enable the formation of Mexican, American, or Chicano art in the first place.\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003eExhibition schedule: Museum of Latin American Art, Long Beach, September 18, 2011–January 29, 2012\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cFONT size=2 face=TheSans\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44874814980360,"sku":"9783775731331","price":39.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775731331_2fc55c53-ea47-47cb-ba4b-9cf2f163bf6d.jpg?v=1744112799","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16903-mexla-mexican-modernisms-in-los-angeles-19301985","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
