Pub Title:
A Map of Mexico.
Pub Note:
Map based on mural paintings of Roberto Montenegro which are on the walls of the Southern Pacific ticket office in Mexico City. Montenegro was a painter, a printmaker, illustrator and included some work in theater and decoration. His time in Europe gave him exposure to various influences from Symbolism, Art Nouveau and Cubism. However, much of his aesthetic is also drawn from Mexican handcrafts and folk art, such as traditional clothing from the south of Mexico and religious objects.
