Description: Travels in the Labyrinth: Mexican Art in the Pollak Collection is the catalog of a private collection of representative works from a century of Mexican art by forty-six painters and sculptors born between 1871 and 1940. A major portion of the collection will be exhibited in a show at the University of Pennsylvania's Arthur Ross Gallery in September 2001. The exhibition will travel to other venues, including the Naples Museum of Art, Florida, and the Ulrich Museum of Art at Wichita State University. The eighty-seven contemporary paintings, drawings, and sculpture include works by Los Tres Grandes, the three great Mexican artists of the twentieth century: Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siquieros, and Jose, Clemente Oroszco. Also reproduced in full color are nineteen ex votos -- naive works painted in oils on wood and dedicated to the patron saint responsible for delivering the subject from danger.
