Mexicans have had a talent for art and color since pre-Hispanic times. Today, Mexico is covered with murals and littered with galleries of contemporary and historic art, which are a highlight of the country for many visitors. Mexican creativity is also expressed through the country's vibrant folk-art tradition. Notable examples of pre-Hispanic art include the Olmecs' monumental stone heads, the early Paradise of Tl¡loc murals at Teotihuac¡n and the Mayan murals at Bonampak in Chiapas. The art of the colonial period was largely religious and Spanish in tone. The influence of indigenous artisans can be seen in the elaborate altarpieces and sculpted walls and ceilings that decorate the country's many churches. The arts were regarded as an important part of the national revival after the revolution. Mexico's top artists, such as Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros and Jos© Clemente Orozco, were commissioned to decorate important public buildings with large, vivid murals on social and historical themes. Frida Kahlo, who married Rivera, painted anguished self-portraits and surreal images that became hugely popular in the 1980s, decades after her death. These days Mexico City and Oaxaca have thriving contemporary arts scenes, with artists like Luis Z¡rate and Rodolfo Morales leading the charge. Mexico's ancient civilizations produced some of the most spectacular, eye-pleasing architecture ever built. Sites such as Teotihuac¡n, Monte Alb¡n, Chich©n Itz¡ and Uxmal are fairly intact examples of pre-Hispanic cities, with their ceremonial centers, pyramids, temples and ball courts. One of the first preoccupations of the Spanish was to replace these pagan structures with Christian churches. Plazas were now the focal point of each settlement, and the churches that replaced the temples reflected European styles such as Gothic, flamboyant Baroque, plateresque, Churrigueresque and neoclassical. Post-revolutionary Mexico saw a return to pre-Hispanic roots, known as Toltecism, exhibiting colorful murals and stocky Aztec architectural forms. Mexico is increasingly gaining a name for its ground-breaking modern architecture, for example the 1990s glass arrowhead of the Centro Burs¡til.

Mexico History
Mexico has been enduring for a long time. The first residents reached the area more than 20,000 years ago. In time, the descendants of these first immigrants produced monumental architecture, incredibly precise calendars and advanced agricultural accomplishments (they gave the world corn, chocolate and tomatoes). Beginning around 1200 BC, a series of great civilizations waxed and waned in the central and southern portions of Mexico, including the Olmecs, the Maya, the Toltecs and a number of other groups. The Aztecs began their rise to power around AD 1200, establishing their capital at Tenochtitlan (present-day Mexico City) and eventually conquering all other groups in central Mexico. Like some of their predecessors, they were a warrior civilization. Rivals who were forced to pay tribute to the Aztecs were looking for an opportunity to throw off their rule, and that opportunity soon presented itself.

This city in southern Mexico is a feast
for the palate, the eye, and the soul. By Kathleen Wheaton A
merican-born chef Susana Trilling, who presides over the Seasons of My Heart Cooking School at her ranch outside the city of Oaxaca, Mexico, is a motherly person with a cheerful "Oh, well" attitude. It's probably essential to anyone who spends her days initiating a dozen or so Yankees at a pop into the mysteries of one of the world's great cuisines. "I guess this was one of those times when you didn't read the recipe all the way through," she said, after I had dumped all of the ingredients for a smoked chile-papaya salsa into the blender at the same time. "Oh, well. The flavor will still be good." It was. And the entire five-course lunch, beginning with the sopa de guías de calabaza (summer squash vine and flower soup) and concluding with pay de queso Oaxaca, the pretty colonial capital of the southern Mexican state of the same name, has long been a magnet for connoisseurs of Mexican folk art. It's a mother lode of metalwork, intricate hand-loomed rugs, glossy black pottery, and the colorful, fanciful wood carvings called

Mexico's Culture
Blending Traditions Near and Far
Ancient Mexico and Central America were home to some of the earliest and most advanced civilizations in the western hemisphere. This region is known historically as Mesoamerica, a term that refers to the geographic area and cultural traditions of the pre-Columbian civilizations of Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Maya civilization flourished in southern Mexico and Central America between AD 250 and 900, a time known as the Classic period. The Maya built large religious centers that included ball courts, homes, and temples, and developed a method of hieroglyphic notation. Chronology among the Maya was determined by an elaborate calendar system. Although highly complex, this calendar was the most accurate known to humans until the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in the 16th century.
The Root of Mexican Culture
The Toltecs rose to power in the 10th century AD and are the first people in Mesoamerica to leave a relatively complete history. Their capital of Tula, whose ruins are located near the town of Tula de Allende 75 km (47 mi) north of Mexico City, extended its political influence over much of central Mexico. Other groups paid them tribute. The Nahuatl-speaking Toltecs established colonies along their northern frontier, protecting the region against hostile groups and greatly expanding the amount of land given over to agriculture. In the 12th century droughts in the north central region weakened the Toltec hold on the region. Desperate and starving people from the north surged southward, eventually overwhelming the Toltecs and forcing them to abandon Tula. Toltec survivors migrated south to the Valley of Mexico, where they joined with other peoples.
