Plastic-poetry dialogue proposed in Mexico shows on Octavio Paz

The exhibition "In this see this. Octavio Paz and art" opens here Friday an unusual dialogue between plastic and poetry to honor this figure of all time. 

The Palace Museum of Fine Arts showcases 228 works and objects from international and national institutions that recall the aesthetic literary poet, essayist and diplomat Mexico (1994-1998), considered among the most influential writers of the twentieth century thought, in centennial year of his birth. 


The show, which opened this week and open until January 2015, aims to show a glimpse of the history of art from the cultural perspective, the views of the renowned author. 


Rafael Tovar, president of the National Council for Culture and the Arts, highlights "the ability of the Nobel Prize for Literature to find the secret correlation intimately linked to separate art forms in time." 

And deepens: "His sidelong look possessed the skill to understand a sculpture, a portrait of New Spain, the most avant-garde works or ancient stone mole within the time they were created and subsequent derivations and influences." 

Meanwhile, the general director of the National Institute of Fine Arts, María Cristina García, think through the eyes of Paz brotherhood between poetry and painting is confirmed. 

Among the exhibits include Las Meninas, Pablo Picasso, Hiroshima explosion, David Alfaro Siqueiros, The naked ballerina, angel Zárraga and Why not sneeze Rose Selavy? (Why Not Sneeze Rose Selavy?) Of Marcel Duchamp. 

Analogies and contrasts, similarities and differences, conjunctions and disjunctions from the investigations of the writer in relation to the visual arts shaped the projection of this shows that Mexican intellectuals considered particularly relevant.
