Developing a unique visual language during the post-revolutionary decades in Mexico, María Izquierdo incorporated traditional indigenous and folklore motifs into a framework of dynamic, contemporary modernism. Characterized by sculptural rendering of the human figure, vibrant and bold colors and the elements of magical realism and the pre-Hispanic and European influences, her work possesses a powerful visual impact and is rich in symbolism and permeated with a pioneering feminist consciousness in contrast with an art world that valued public, masculine national identity and resisted women’s participation.
