Mexico and abroad; Mexican writer Juan Villoro —who has been close to the artist for many years— examines the style and vision of Felguérez in the form of a personal portrait; and Jorge Reynoso and Alberto González, the curators of the exhibition, focus on an analysis of the artist’s creative systems, on the singular “alchemy” whereby he reconciles compositional rigor with the hazard of countless variants.
The book also contains reproductions of the paintings and sculptures selected for the exhibition, as well as a chronology of the artist’s life and times. An ideal way to approach the rich legacy of Manuel Felguérez from a variety of perspectives.
