Tradition and modernity are two elements that mark the development of what is proposed in societies and individuals in the different matters of life. The exhibition Fuerza y volumen. El lenguaje escultórico de Oliverio Martínez (1901-1938) was relevant for what Martínez meant to the progress of Mexican sculpture from one movement to another, from one century to another, in a moment in which the idea of modernity overwhelmed us above everything. Oliverio Martínez was the enjoyment upon which the door of one and other generation was closed and opened. His sculptural collections of the Monumento a la Revolución (1933) constituted a definitive moment in the history of contemporary Mexican sculpture.
