Mexican Art and the Academy of San Carlos, 1785-1915 is a comprehensive book by Jean Charlot that explores the history and evolution of Mexican art through the lens of the Academy of San Carlos. The Academy of San Carlos was founded in 1785 and was the first art school in the Americas. Charlot delves into the school's curriculum, faculty, and students to provide a detailed account of how Mexican art was taught and developed over the course of 130 years.The book is divided into four parts, each of which covers a different period in the Academy's history. Part one focuses on the founding of the school and its early years, while part two examines the impact of the Mexican War of Independence on the Academy and its students. Part three covers the period of French intervention in Mexico and the subsequent rise of modernism in Mexican art, and part four explores the Academy's role in the Mexican Revolution and its aftermath.Throughout the book, Charlot provides detailed analysis of key works of art and the artists who created them, including Jos����� Mar������a Velasco, Diego Rivera, and Frida Kahlo. He also explores the influence of European art movements such as neoclassicism, romanticism, and impressionism on Mexican art.Mexican Art and the Academy of San Carlos, 1785-1915 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Mexican art, the history of art education, or the cultural history of Mexico. Charlot's thorough research and insightful analysis make this book an essential addition to any art history library.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
