¡Puro mexicano! offered an interpretation based on the exceptional artistic qualities of the artworks produced during three periods that were defined by our national historiography: the New Spain, the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, confronted by pieces of the 21st century. The exhibition tried to provoke an aesthetic experience to the public by letting the artworks themselves show their power of seduction, their narrative capability and their unrestrainable vitality that pours out.
This exhibition was constituted by 40 notable artworks from private collections and 140 significant works of our collections, from which a 50% has been shown very little, at least in the last decade. We aimed to rediscover along with the public their importance and beauty since they will be part of the permanent exhibition.
