New guide to Mexico: Teaching about Mexican art in the 1930s and 1940s.

- Abstract
Social, economic and political reforms following the Revolution of 1910 in Mexico made the first part of the twentieth century a period when Europeans, North Americans and other people paid particular attention to Mexican Art. Coverage of Mexico in The School Arts Magazine from the 1930s and 1940s centred on folk craft and rural and Indigenous populations. This stemmed in part from the postrevolutionary concept of Mexicanidad, the movement to develop a national identity based on the Indigenous roots of the country rather than its colonial past, but is also argued to have derived from the idea of Mexico in the US imagination in which the country is associated with quaintness, backwardness and the exotic and romantic.
