LOS ANGELES---This exhibition foregrounds the connections between Mexican painting and transatlantic artistic trends while emphasizing the former’s internal developments and remarkable pictorial output. In the 16th century, European artists immigrated to Mexico to decorate newly established churches and complete artistic commissions. The 18th century ushered in a period of artistic splendour as local schools of painting were consolidated, new iconographies were invented, and artists began to group themselves into academies.
