The Avant-garde Networks of Amauta: Argentina, Mexico, and Peru in the 1920s

Presented by Blanton Museum of Art

Description

The Avant-garde Networks of Amauta: Argentina, Mexico, and Peru in the 1920s

The 1920s were a period of rapid modernization and artistic innovation across the globe; magazines played an integral role in disseminating bold new ideas and movements. The Avant-Garde Networks of Amauta: Argentina, Mexico, and Peru in the 1920s explores this history in Latin America through the magazine Amauta, published in Peru from 1926 to 1930. With an expansive network of collaborators, Amauta captured major artistic and political conversations of the decade including international discussions of the avant-garde, traditional craft as innovation, the visual identity of leftist politics, and the movement of Indigenism. The exhibition has more than 200 objects—including paintings, sculptures, poetry, ceramics, tapestries, woodcut prints, publications, and ephemera—that richly evoke the milieu of this radical period.

Curated by Beverly Adams, Former Curator of Latin American Art, Blanton Museum of Art, now Estrellita Brodsky Curator of Latin American Art, The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), and Natalia Majluf, Former Director and Chief Curator, Museo de Arte de Lima, Peru
