With a cast ranging from Pancho Villa to Dolores del Río and Tina
Modotti, Constructing the Image of the Mexican Revolution demonstrates
the crucial role played by Mexican and foreign visual artists in
revolutionizing Mexico's twentieth-century national iconography.
Investigating the convergence of cinema, photography, painting, and
other graphic arts in this process, Zuzana Pick illuminates how the
Mexican Revolution's timeline (1910-1917) corresponds with the emergence
of media culture and modernity.
Drawing on twelve foundational films from Que Viva Mexico! (1931-1932)
to And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself (2003), Pick proposes that
cinematic images reflect the image repertoire produced during the
revolution, often playing on existing nationalist themes or on folkloric
motifs designed for export. Ultimately illustrating the ways in which
modernism reinvented existing signifiers of national identity,
Constructing the Image of the Mexican Revolution unites historicity,
aesthetics, and narrative to enrich our understanding of Mexicanidad.
