Although recent research has focused on local and regional aspects of the Revolution, it was a genuinely national revolution. Its outbreak in 1910 resulted from the failure of the 35-year-long regime of Porfirio Díaz to find a manage d solution to the presidential succession.

It would be false, for example, to consider pre-Spanish art in Mexico as only the art of the Aztecs or Mayas. This popular conception is as erroneous as would be the idea that all Mediterranean and European art is represented by that of the French or English in the eighteenth century. Aztecs and Mayas were the most important tribes that the Spaniards found at the time of the Conquest, but not even then were they the only great peoples in Mexico, nor did they represent an entirely original art and culture with out antecedents, especially if we consider not only the aboriginal art at the time of ...
