"This groundbreaking book looks at the influence California and Mexico have had on each other's architecture and design in the 20th century. The histories of Mexico and the United States have been intertwined since the 18th century, when both were colonies of European empires. America's fascination with Mexican culture emerged in the 19th century and continues to this day. In turn, Mexico looked to the U.S. as a model of modernity, its h ..."

"Smith has performed in it a "dismantling [of] the frame through conceptual plays on repetition and difference, through which her production is displaced from painting...toward the...potential to 'unframe' the frame." This book records the filmic event, taking the reader on a tour of the fantastica, surrealistic ruins of the "English garden" constructed by the British writer Edward James (1907-1984). The journey evokes not only the cre ..."

"Preceded by the heroic modernism of the 1920s and abruptly curtailed by World War II, the heterogeneous art movements of the 1930s have been comparatively neglected as concurrent cultural phenomena. The 30s were much more than a period of transition or crisis, witnessing as they did the massive expansion of Surrealism, and fervent debate between new movements in abstract and realist painting. Political turbulence was of course rife at t ..."

"El ornamento, que en muchas antiguas civilizaciones milenarias cumplía una función sagrada, tristemente ha desaparecido de nuestra cultura agnóstica, inmoral y pragmática. El minimalismo, o sea el nihilismo, es considerado un estilo. Yo, eternamente enamorado del arabesco y el ornamento egipcio, gótico, barroco, victoriano y aún precortesiano, he tratado de restablecer este amor por el adorno, y muchos de mis cuadros semejan un compendi ..."
