Thursday, May 31 at 6:30 PM Mexican Cultural Institute 2829 16th Street NW Washington, DC 20009 Friday, June 1 at Noon Library of Congress Hispanic Division Madison Building, Pickford Theater 101 Independence Avenue SW Washington, DC 20003 The Mexican Revolution opened a new era in Mexican art and letters now known as the “Mexican Renaissance.” Brenner became a member of Rivera’s inner circle, and her journals provide fascinating portraits of its members, including Orozco, Siqueiros, Rufino Tamayo, and Jean Charlot, with whom she had an unusual loving relationship. She captures the major and minor players in the act of creating works for which they are now famous and records their comings and goings, alliances and feuds. Brenner also reveals her own maturation as a perceptive observer and writer who, at twenty-four, published her first book, Idols Behind Altars. SUSANNAH JOEL GLUSKER, Mexico City, Mexico, is the daughter of Anita Brenner and author of the book Anita Brenner: A Mind of Her Own. Glusker teaches “Mexican Women of Note” and “Mexican Art of the Early Twentieth Century” at the Universidad Iberoamericana, translates, and writes for various publications.
