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 Demian 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."
