Notes:  Exhibit catalog.  Perhaps Henry Moore said it best: “Mexican sculpture seems to me to be true and right.  Its ‘stoniness,’ by which I mean its truth to material, its tremendous power without loss of sensitiveness, its astonishing variety and fertility of form invention and its approach to a full three-dimension conception of form, make it unsurpassed in my opinion by any other period of stone sculpture.”
