MEXICO, A REVOLUTION IN ART 1910-1940

Explore this colourful and exciting range of gifts especially chosen and commissioned to accompany the exhibition at the Royal Academy. Many of these exclusive gifts are made in Mexico giving a unique taste of the Mexican flair for colour and sometime macabre use of imagery.

In the first half of the twentieth century Mexico was home to a surge of artistic activity comparable to the political revolution that shook the country between 1910 and 1920. This compelling exhibition and catalogue examines the period presenting the work of Mexican artists from the social-realist painter Diego Rivera to photographer Agustin Jimenez alongside international artists, such as Josef Albers, who built close ties with the country.

HOUGHTON REVISITED

In 1799 the family of Sir Robert Walpole sold his remarkable art collection to Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia. More than two centuries later these masterpieces, rarely seen outside Russia since that time, are returning to Houghton Hall in Norfolk. This handsome book, published by RA Publications, illustrates these superlative works hanging once again in the magnificent interiors at Houghton.

Thierry Morel uncovers the wonders of Walpole's collection, which includes paintings by Van Dyck, Poussin, Rubens and Rembrandt tracing its journey to the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg.

The fully illustrated catalogue accompanying the exhibition also explores Walpole's artistic tastes and collecting habits, and his beautiful house, one of the finest Palladian buildings in England.
