Between Love and Madness: The Art of Mexican "Micro" Comics

The exhibition “BETWEEN LOVE AND MADNESS: THE ART OF MEXICAN “MICRO” COMICS” introduces the art of the micro-cuentos of Mexico. Although popular in Mexico, these small comics, also known as Historietas, are little-known internationally.

Presenting a selection of works from a collection of more than 1,400 ink on paper comic drawings, these works were originally published in comic books from the late 1960s and early 1970s. This will be the first time these original drawings have been publicly presented in the nearly fifty years since their creation.
