Armando Amaya – Marcela Sánchez Mota (2001)

This definitive monograph explores the life and work of Armando Amaya (1934–1991), a pivotal yet underrecognized figure in 20th-century Mexican abstract art. Sánchez Mota’s meticulous research traces Amaya’s evolution from his early Rupture Movement days (breaking from nationalist muralism) to his later geometric abstractions, infused with Mesoamerican symbolism and cosmic spirituality.

For Fans of Latin American Modernism:

Rufino Tamayo: Myth and Magic (2023) – Juan Carlos Pereda – Another Mexican abstractionist bridging ancient/modern.
Gunther Gerzso: A Mexican Master (2005) – Dina Comisarenco – Geometric landscapes akin to Amaya’s.
The Color of Tradition: Lilia Carrillo (2012) – Teresa del Conde – Female contemporary in the Rupture circle.

“A missing link between the Pyramid of the Sun and the Bauhaus.”
