Mexico is a land where varied culturaI heritages have inspired an art that has a unique and compelling history of its own. The influence of a frequently changing political and social system over the centuries forced Mexicans to search carefully for their nationaI identity, and they have often looked to art for a sense of distinction.
From its roots in the ancient forms and motifs of the Mesoamerican civilizations, through the architecturaIly inspired designs of the coIonial period, the neoclassicaI and romantic infIuences of the nineteenth century, and the formaI beginnings of modernism in the earIy twentieth century, Mexican art boasts an original and diverse style. This country with such diversity has found unity in an art that is recognizabIy Mexican and undeniabIy great.
