Annette Nancarrow was an American-born artist whose life and work were deeply intertwined with Mexico’s cultural and artistic movements of the 20th century.
Nancarrow carved a unique space in artistic circles through her innovative practices and close relationships with prominent figures in the Mexican avant-garde.
This exhibition explores how Nancarrow absorbed the vivid display of Mexican nationalism that was prevalent in the art of the 1930s-1950s and transformed it into a body of work that speaks to both her personal journey and the broader currents of 20th-century modernism.
Exhibition and educational support for the Taubman Museum of Art’s 75th Anniversary is generously supported in part by the Richard S. Reynolds Foundation, Helen S. and Charles G. Patterson, Jr., Charitable Foundation Trust, Richard and Caroline T. Gwathmey Memorial Trust, Bank of America, N.A., Trustee, and the Richard S. Reynolds Foundation.
