Description

An art scarf inspired by The Met collection.

The stylish figure on this vibrant neckerchief represents the regional dress of Saltillo, the capital of the Mexican state of Coahuila. The image comes from a silkscreen print belonging to Regional Mexican Dress, a portfolio containing 25 brightly colored prints by Carlos Mérida (Guatemalan, 1891–1984). Having encountered the work of Picasso, Modigliani, Mondrian, and Klee, among other contemporary avant-garde artists, Mérida infused European modernism with Latin American themes. Though he's best known for his murals and paintings, this series reveals Mérida's talents as a printmaker and his enduring interest in indigenous subjects.

We're pleased to present this scarf in celebration of Mexican Prints at the Vanguard at The Met Fifth Avenue. The rich tradition of printmaking in Mexico from the 18th to the mid-20th century is explored across more than 130 works drawn mainly from The Met collection—including woodcuts, lithographs, and screen prints by artists such as Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, Leopoldo Méndez, and Mexico's best-known printmaker, José Guadalupe Posada, whose depictions of skeletons helped establish a global identity for Mexican art.
