Saw below during a recent visit to LACMA. In the 1920s, Carlos Mérida was deeply committed to the Mexican muralism movement and to extolling the peoples and traditions of Mexico. In the 19405 and 1950s, however, he began experimenting with a greater range of styles, including abstraction. Increasingly distancing himself from the muralists, Mérida developed a dynamic, geometric style that is as much indebted to Cubism as to international postwar geometric abstraction.
