Aline Brandauer
"Et la Mexique? C'est la que l'on voudrait vivre!"
April 13 at 4 pm in Art/Soc room 1213
Aline Brandauer is a Ph.D. candidate at CUNY
and research associate at CASVA (Center for
Avanced Study in the Visual Arts, National
Gallery of Art).
This lecture will address the image of Mexico in France
between the two World Wars, as "a rich source for in-
vestigating aself-conscious construction of 'primitiv-
ism' as well as its reception." More specifically, the
lecture will focus on two exhibitions of Mexican art
held in Paris in 1926 and 1928, describing the formal
concepts and socio-political ideologies that informed
the organization of the exhibition as well as their
reception, particularly by the Surrealists, Georges
Bataille, Michel Leirisand Georges-Henri Riviere.
