Words that illustrate, illustrations that speak, these pages offer us moments in the history of art in the vision of a great creator.

It presents a selection of texts and quotations by Rivera alongside images created by the painter himself or by artists who in one way or another gained a place in his memory. Words that illustrate, illustrations that speak, these pages offer us a series of momets in art history as seen by a great curator." (p. 17) With essays by Robert Pliego, Magdalena Zavala, and Juan Rafael Coronel Rivera. Otherwise, it's all about the art. The exhibition checklist cites 144 pieces by about 70 artists from around the world. 17 are by Rivera. Many are pictured here in full color, and many are figurative.
