A truly popular art form, the glamorous paintings of Mexican calendar girls have a long and fascinating history -- as advertisements, enticements and emblems of Mexican cultural heritage and pride.
The result of years of research, this playful and informative book reproduces more than 150 vibrantly colourful calendar images, plus archival photographs and other materials that illuminate their creation. A fully bilingual text gives an overview of the calendar's social and cultural history, along with biographies of the talented artists who created them.
