A truly popular art form, the glamorous paintings of Mexican
calendar girls have a long and fascinating history—as
advertisements, enticements, and emblems of Mexican cultural
heritage and pride. The result of years of research, this
playful and informative book reproduces more than 150
vibrantly colorful calendar images, plus archival
photographs and other materials that illuminate their
creation. A fully bilingual text gives an overview of the
calendars' social and cultural history, along with
biographies of the talented artists who created them. Also
including a foreword by the renowned Mexican cultural critic
Carlos Monsiváis, Mexican Calendar Girls presents this
popular and delightful art as never before.
