This southern
Mexico state is known for its traditional culture and innovation.
On the arts scene, Oaxaca leads the nation. The state is home to
three of Mexico's most famous painters, Rufino Tamayo (1899-1991),
Rodolfo Morales (1925-2001) Francisco Toledo (b.1941).
Young Oaxacan painters include Demián
Flores, Guillermo Olguín, Soid Pastrana and Luis Enrique
Hampshire. Says art critic Neil
Pyatt: "Their styles combine modern thought with ancient
forms of illustration, and they differ as much from each other as
from their elder, supposedly higher-ranking predecessors."
TRAVELER TIPS
Those interested in seeing current work of prominent
local artists will find the work of Francisco Toledo at Galería
Quetzalli and Arte de Oaxaca and Demian
