Catalogue of an exhibition organized within the framework of the celebrations for the Bicentennial of the Independence and the Centennial of the Revolution that explore how the national heroes were portrayed in art in the early 19th century.

The exhibition includes close to 110 pieces including sculptures, paintings, prints, photography, books, manuscripts and some magazines largely produced in the 19th Century in México and Europe.

"Revisionist view of the traditional interpretation of 1923 revolt as a reaction against Obregón's imposition of Calles. Authors study four different regional revolts between 1923-24, all with different leaders and provoked by different causes: Rómulo Figueroa in Guerrero, Enrique Estrada in Jalisco, Guadalupe Sánchez in Veracruz, and Fortunato Maycotte in Oaxaca. Rebels failed because of a lack of central control or unifying program. Adolfo de la Huerta played only a 'decorative role' in the armed movement against Obregón"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
