The first volume of "Maestros de la imaginación. Arte mexicano" comprises selected pieces from 100 Mexican artists from the 20th and 21st centuries with full-page color reproductions of their iconic works offering the reader the opportunity to visualize the imagination process behind each of their art works. The author also highlights the imagination of the Mexican pre-Columbian cultures and the amazing creative spirit of the local master artisans, "recognizing the value of those who imagine and create, of those who are able to conceptualize the values and meaning of life, and in particular, the value of artists who express individual aspirations." --Page 12.
