Abstract

This article highlights certain lost links which connect the Mexican art of the beginning of the last century with the so-called Generación del Medio Siglo. These probable links are studied from the phenomenon of the relevance of the small and the representation of things apparently trivial. While there were, on the one hand, descriptions using dialog as the dominant form, numerous scenes of revolutionary political conflict, the great novel of the Mexican Revolution and depictions and murals of the armed conflict, in the other hand were images of the small things, the insignificant and the microscopic: stories about the greatness of the day-to-day life, paintings of the most minimal spaces, an art made of everyday scenes where violence and the building of a homeland.
