Mexican Calendar Girls - the only book ever written on the unknown painters who created the famous Mexican calendars in the 1930's - 1950;s. Full of 175 rare photos of my calendar collection. The book also comments on the post Mexican Revolutionary influx of American products and their advertising. ( ) I adore this book. I love the Mexican calendar art and the calendar girls really speak to an old post-revolutionary image that Mexico wanted to project. Not only to the world, but to it's own people. Angela has done a superb job in tracking down information about the artists and companies that produced the calendars and the art work. The photos are fabulous. This is truly a sweet and sentimental look at a bygone era. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
