About the Book

The sensitive perception of a society’s artistic expressions facilitates our comprehension of its ethos, enabling the meaningful communication between individuals and communities, which is the fundamental link that connects human beings.This book explores the spirit of the Mesoamerican civilization from pre-history until the 20th century, interpreting its architectural legacy, both in the planned environments of the public plazas, and in the art that is integrated into structural designs, exemplified by the Mexican mural paintings. The first part studies the open areas defined by substantially symbolic architecture, providing the spatial forum for the spiritual and consequential collective manifestations of the native population throughout the history of Mesoamerica, linking past, present, and future generations. The second part focuses on mural painting, which has been a consistent universal medium for eloquent cultural interaction among Mesoamericans.

Review :
"[It is a] visual tour when so many trips and tourist plans are changed because of COVID-19! The history, art and architecture of the Mesoamerica can be explored and much can be learned when we read Mesoamerica Open Spaces and Mural Paintings. The cultural aspects of the anonymous artists from Teotihuacan to the 20th century art of Diogo Rivera, reflect a clear image of a civilization through the centuries. [The book] brings to the reader the ideas, beliefs and a heritage that can be enjoyed in a powerful way. Read it, learn and enjoy it!"M. RuppenthalTeacher and art historian, Ontario, Canada'Celina B. Barrios de Senisterra, in her book Mesoamerican Open Spaces and Mural Paintings as Statements of Cultural Identity, explains in a very clear way how the regional artists reflected the identity of their culture through their art along these last centuries. From the gatherings in open spaces as places to share time with others to the mural paintings outside and inside buildings that tell stories which can be easily interpreted by anyone who sees them, the high compromise and strong perception of local artists made it possible to maintain the land roots even after the European invasion.'María ColomboEnglish-Spanish Translator Student, La Plata, Argentina
