About this book

Critical texts on four paintings by Antonio Ruiz El Corcito, "a painter, if not marginal, excluded from the so-called Mexican School of Painting, his opposition to mural painting through size or small formats; almost a "painter of postcards" would say Roberto Montengro, on his peculiar tendency to make small paintings of 16 x 20 cm, average size being between 28 x 40 cm., in a time when muralism stood as the pictorial art canon of ideal nationalism of post-revolutionary Mexico.ʺ (HKB Translation)--Page 33.
