This book offers an approach to the multifaceted work of Miguel Covarrubias from various perspectives. It includes materials from exhibitions held to commemorate the centenary of his birth and presents four “visions” of his work as a caricaturist, book illustrator, muralist, ethnographer, writer, cultural promoter, and traveler.
Beautifully designed and printed, the book covers all stages of the artist’s creative journey—from New York to the South Seas, and from pre-Hispanic Mexico to the Mexico of the 20th century. It features essays by Adriana Williams, an outstanding biographer of Covarrubias, as well as renowned cultural critic Carlos Monsiváis, along with contributions from Juan Coronel Rivera, Mercurio López, and Selva Hernández.
Broad in scope and meticulously detailed, this book will be of interest not only to those who wish to discover this fascinating artist but also to scholars of his work.
