ARTISTS OF MEXICO

A new Film by Eric Minh Swenson

Filmed on the occasion of the “Artists of Mexico” exhibition at Jack Rutberg Fine Arts in Los Angeles, this exhibition of paintings, drawings, prints and sculpture explores the impact that Mexican artists had on Los Angeles art, and the impact that L.A. had on them.

Jack Rutberg guides us through this wide ranging exhibition with fascinating insights and historical context.

Included in the exhibition are: Jean Charlot, Rafael Coronel, José Luis Cuevas, Bernice Kolko, Gustavo Montoya, Alfredo Ramos Martinez, Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Rufino Tamayo and Francisco Zúñiga.

“Artists of Mexico” is a prelude to the Getty Foundation’s region-wide endeavor, “Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA”, officially opening in September 2017. “Artists of Mexico” at Jack Rutberg Fine Arts features artists whose works and careers had particular resonance in Los Angeles by way of the artists’ personal histories in L.A., their many exhibitions in Southern California, and in many instances through their widely known public works throughout the region. For many of these artists, their most avid collectors in the U.S. were indeed in Los Angeles, in advance of their now widespread international museum recognition. Los Angeles’ and Hollywood’s interest in these artists particularly served to expand these artists’ recognition not only throughout the U.S., but also within Mexico.

Jack Rutberg Fine Arts is located at 357 North La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles. www.jackrutbergfinearts.com
