All these names helped built the foundations

and, ultimately, thepillar thatwouldbecome thefirst

great artistic movement in Mexico, one that would

change and transcend the national art scene. Alberto

Misrachi was the first art broker for Diego Rivera and

of the unbending loyalty of Mr. Misrachi. Around this

time,in1940,donAlbertoMisrachiwasabrilliantfigure

flores mexicanas, Aves y trajes regionales, Empresario

cultural en la Central de Publicaciones, as well as being

During the 1940s, Mr. Misrachi was invited by

President Franklin Roosevelt to the White House,

were he inaugurated the Veinte siglos de arte mex-

icano exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art, in New

York. Furthermore, he closely collaborated with

the known cultural elite in America at the time,

with such figures as Miguel Covarrubias, Carlos

Pellicer, Salvador Novo, amongst others.
