Along much of the wrought iron fence that borders Chapultepec Park along Paseo de la Reforma is usually a display of some sort of art or an historical figure. This time both an artist and a historic figure were on display. Yet another artist from Oaxaca, Amador Montes’ work was shown and I quite liked it. Interesting and unique. Oaxaca has contributed a disproportionate number of artists to Mexico’s rich trove of fine art and Montes is another in a long line of them.
Ricardo Flores Magón (1873 – 1922) was one of the early liberals who called for the end to the reign of Porforio Diaz, long time president/dictator of Mexico.
