Lilia Carrillo: Todo es sugerente Monograph
Lilia Carrillo: Todo es sugerente Monograph
Published alongside the Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City, this is the first monograph dedicated to the late painter in three decades.
Part of the Generación de la Ruptura (Rupture Generation) which departed from Mexican muralism, painter Lilia Carrillo (1930–74) became one of the leading female figures of abstraction in midcentury Mexico after studying avant-garde movements in Paris during the 1950s. Her career was cut short, however, after a spinal aneurysm that left her partially paralyzed and brought about her untimely death at the age of 43. This bilingual (English/Spanish) monograph is the first dedicated to Carrillo in more than three decades. By approaching 1960s and ’70s nonfigurative art in Mexico through the scope of her paintings, contributors both reconfigure the history of the period and do justice to the legacy of an undersung artist.
Lilia Carrillo: Todo es sugerente was published in conjunction with the exhibitions Lilia Carrillo. Todo es sugerente at Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes, Mexico City and Lilia Carrillo: Ruptures and Premonitions at Americas Society, New York.
