The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH (organizer) (November 18, 2018-March 24, 2019). --- LEGACY EXHIBITIONS --- PROVENANCE --- fun fact: digital description: Enrique Chagoya modeled Les Aventures des Cannibales Modernistes on the format of a pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican codex. By altering, combining, and juxtaposing images from diverse sources, Chagoya presents cultural and religious icons in contradictory and unexpected contexts, thus disrupting a linear view of history. In this topsy-turvy world, Mexican stereotypes play dominant roles, complicating the idea of European political and artistic supremacy. wall description: --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS Payton, Cydney, and John Buck.
