I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

1. 25YEAR_150224_005.JPG: 25 Years: 25 Artists: Mexican art has always been characterized by the constant search for artistic expression. Mexican Muralism, the first cultural revolution of the 20th century, gave early Mexican visual arts a collective, public and national character. The artists of the second half of the 20th century assimilated their works and aesthetic teachings into that of their predecessors while simultaneously engaging in international artistic developments. In a world of increasing complexity these painters, printmakers and sculptors generated a distinct vision, creating a different way of using artistic phenomena to access modernity. Though some of these artists identified with the "Ruptura" movement of the late 1950s with others undertook a more individual adventure, all of them were eager to grow, experiment, and seek freedom of expression while creating new spaces within art. The works on display are a sample of different schools and movements within Mexican art. This exhibit features both Mexican botn artists and those who came to Mexico to create art, all of whom enriched the cultural legacy and perspectives of national artistic production. These works form part of the Kimberly Collection. The work of these 25 artists celebrates 25 years of the Mexican Cultural Institute. They are: Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Feliciano Nejar, Antonio Castellanos, Alberto Castro Lenero, Arnaldo Coen, Alejandro Colunga, Aaron Cruz, Jose Luis Cuevas, Jose Chavez Morado, Mary E. Figueroa, Gunther Gerzso, Ariadne Kimberly, Joy Laville, Gabriel Macotela, Jesus Martinez, Guillermo Meza, Gustavo Montoya, Luis Nishizawa, Pablo O'Higgins, Arturo Rivera, Vicente Rojo, Raymundo Sesma, Francisco Toledo, Patricia Torres, and Roger Von Gunten.
