This book paints the story of a Western artist’s discovery of authentic Mexico, encapsulating a journey away from narrow observations of the country’s stereotypes - black and white films, cactus’, cartels, and the jumping bean - towards a greater understanding of its significance in the social and geopolitical landscape.
From the emergence of Mexican muralism in the immediate wake of the country’s early 20th-century revolution to traditional customs that have survived and flourished amidst the country’s progress. Rooney draws his inspiration from a myriad of spaces and places, permanently recording their significance in a book that can only be described as having a touch of eternal Mexico.
Mick Rooney (b.1944) was elected Royal Academician in 1991 and in 2001 was elected to the Royal Society of Painters and Printmakers. He lives and works in London.
