"Using an approach to Mexican muralism, specifically the work of Rivera, Orozco and Siqueiros, Subirats explores the American and European interpretations of art, which obviously are hegemonic and place Mexican muralism in a diminished position, of disadvantage, when trying understand it and study it according to criteria alien to our culture, which annuls its historical particularity, in the absence of an autonomous, specific and own theoretical horizon, in addition to the absence of a critical conscience. Likewise, and in counterbalance with the above, it exposes the mythological, metaphysical, sociological and political foundation of every true work of art, all of course, in an elegant lyrical prose and from an original critical stance."--The publisher
