- Summary:
- In October 1921, then-President Álvaro Obregón of Mexico issued a decree creating the Secretariat of Public Education (SEP). Under the direction of José Vasconcelos, who had been rector of the National University and one of the main precursors of the new ministry, the SEP undertook the profound reorganization and modernization of Mexican education, which would no longer be only for the exclusive consumption of the elites but part of a production accessible to all citizens. Thus, the SEP invited painters, writers, and poets hired for artistic projects and, in many cases, were integrated into the educational bureaucracy as teachers or cultural officials. One hundred later, the Museo Nacional de San Carlos, presents an historical reconstruction of the artistic and cultural initiatives and programs through 245 works produced between 1921 and 1946: books, paintings, photographs, engravings, sculptures, puppets , music and cinema; all as a testimony of a fruitful and revolutionary effort that sought to establish for the first time in Mexico the full right of society to education, art and culture. Among the works that make up the exhibition are pieces signed by Diego Rivera, Gerardo Murillo "Dr. Átl", Roberto Montenegro, Nahui Olin, Adolfo Best Maugard, Abraham Ángel, Alfredo Zalce, José Chávez Morado, Leopoldo Méndez, Gabriel Fernández Ledesma, Angelina Beloff, Lola Cueto, as well as outstanding students and teachers from the Escuelas de Pintura al Aire Libre (EPAL), who collaborated in the Misiones Culturales.
