Cultural/Historical Context
"Guillermo Meza Alvarez was the son an Indian tailor from Tlaxcala. Artist Diego Rivera arranged for his first one man show in 1940. Meza’s work variably served as a criticism of society, an intellectual revolt against convention, and an affirmation of imaginative freedom. He worked with dance academies and performers on a number of occasions. "
