A young man, Josué, whose head it once was, uses this grisly episode to recount how he came to lose it. A more dramatic curtain raiser for a novel can scarcely be imagined.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/13584/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Tom Russell: American Primitive Man</title><link>http://calitreview.com/13088</link> <comments>http://calitreview.com/13088#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 13 Dec 2010 10:00:33 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Dan Fields</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Africa]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Art]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Biography]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Canada]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mexico]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Performing Arts]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Westerns]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Writers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[country music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cowboy music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[folk music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ian Tyson]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Iris DeMent]]></category> <category><![CDATA[live music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Marty Robbins]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ramblin' Jack Elliott]]></category> <category><![CDATA[recording artist]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Texas music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Tom Russell]]></category> <guid

In each voice he invokes there are universal echoes of love, doubt, weakness, fear, restlessness and faith. The figure of the wanderer – whether soldier, cowboy, nomad, pioneer, outcast or pilgrim – passes again and again through his work.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/13088/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Alice Leora Briggs: Art from Juárez</title><link>http://calitreview.com/9246</link> <comments>http://calitreview.com/9246#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 03 Jun 2010 21:46:29 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Alix McKenna</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[After Image]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Art]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Death]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mexico]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Alice Leora Briggs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[art contemporary]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Charles Bowden]]></category> <guid

Its visual strength and documentary quality compels you to keep looking and inspires you to learn more about the tragic situation that she chronicles.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/9246/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The Last Reader by David Toscana</title><link>http://calitreview.com/6289</link> <comments>http://calitreview.com/6289#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 04 Feb 2010 15:46:01 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Katie Cappello</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Fiction Reviews]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mexico]]></category> <category><![CDATA[David Toscana]]></category> <guid

These techniques project to the reader the type of seamlessness in which Lucio and the other characters live. Violence and love, reality and myth, abundance and drought, life and death; these dichotomies mingle and mate, creating an alternate world extreme in its gorgeous, frightening possibilities.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/6289/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Francis Alÿs: Fabiola at the National Portrait Gallery, London</title><link>http://calitreview.com/4149</link> <comments>http://calitreview.com/4149#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 29 Jul 2009 14:45:23 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Rose Lejeune</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Art]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Art & Design]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mexico]]></category> <category><![CDATA[art exhibit]]></category> <category><![CDATA[art portraiture]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Catholic Church]]></category> <category><![CDATA[fourth century]]></category> <guid

More though, Alÿs’ display highlights the ways in which art inhabits a space of its own – outside of museums and critical appraisal. The works he has collected pay homage to the fact that it can be made anywhere, by anyone. The art changes and becomes personalized as it is interpreted and lived by individuals]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/4149/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>3</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Being Kidnapped at Knifepoint Is Not Enough to Change David Lida’s Love for Mexico City</title><link>http://calitreview.com/792</link> <comments>http://calitreview.com/792#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 13 Jul 2008 16:52:34 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Paul Comstock</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Mexico]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Non-Fiction Reviews]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Travel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mexico City]]></category> <guid

Even in wealthy countries, working people are earning lower salaries, fewer benefits and have less free time. Simply put, the rich are getting richer and the poor getting poorer; I wonder if the rest of the world isn’t coming around to Mexico City."]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/792/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>3</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Frida Kahlo at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art</title><link>http://calitreview.com/747</link> <comments>http://calitreview.com/747#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 16 Jun 2008 13:09:00 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Ed Voves</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Art]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Art & Design]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Disability]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mexico]]></category> <category><![CDATA[art exhibit]]></category> <category><![CDATA[art modern]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Diego Rivera]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Frida Kahlo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mexico City]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SFMOMA]]></category> <guid

In the end, these reflections, however valid some of the details may be, diminish Kahlo’s achievement. The truth of Frida Kahlo’s life is startlingly simple. She recorded the realty of her life without flinching, creating for herself a world that conformed to her insights and her experience. And in the process, Frida Kahlo’s art became Frida Kahlo’s life.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/747/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>5</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
