In a tarnation

Henry Ford Hospital - 1932

"Nunca pinte sueños ni pesadillas, pinte mi propia realidad"

Frida Kahlo.

It is not easy to talk (writte) about mexican art, nor mexican culture. The main reazon is because we are already living in this mexican "envvironment" in wich we (sometimes) belive we already know the useful part of our history - ideology- society- culture. 

Yes: we are the result of the mixture of many races.

Yes: we have nearly 200 of being an independent country.

Yes: we have many, MANY natural resources.

Yes: we have very particular aestetic concepts.

Yes: we live in a country that is very violent, that should be speaking in english, that is not as great as it could be. 

Maybe all those "yes" are the reazon for me to choose the quote by Frida Kahlo (one of my favorite mexican painters - women yet not the best of all of them) in wich, I think, she describes how we will be relating our selves with mexico douring this course:  Nightmares and  dreams mixed up in a reality that will involve aztecs, hispaniards, indians and french people, publishers, witters, famous and infamous (that means not without fame, but with fame of bein mean or dangerous for our country) personalities, and a lot of different ingredients. 

If tarnation is a place where you have to make a choice, here the tarnation I put to you: enhage this course, read, work. I will do so...will you?
