Archives of American Art historic film footage from 1930’s Mexico: A rare delight
To put the footage in context, during the era that Hirsch and Rogo filmed, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera were living and working in Mexico City, and the Fred Davis and William Spratling silversmith workshops were active and training the next generation of master Mexican silversmiths in Taxco. At the same time, Lazaro Cardenas was elected president of Mexico. Cardenas instituted sweeping land reforms turning over control of agricultural land to peasants, and established state ownership of the petroleum industry removing American corporate ownership of the national resource.
If you see something in the news that you think would be of interest to our readers, please let me know so I can share it! And, we have TWO SPACES LEFT in our Day of the Dead Photography Expedition starting October 28. Come along.
And, just in from fellow blogger Shannon Pixley Sheppard on Oaxaca’s latest archeological discovery, burial remains in Santa Maria Atzompa. So much to love about Mexico!
