Abstract
It is important for the history of Mexican art to consider the possibility of a continuity in fantastic art, from José Guadalupe Posada to the figurative painting of the end of the twentieth and beginning of the twenty-first century. My proposal is based on the historian Ida Rodríguez Prampolini’s book El surrealismo y el arte fantástico de México [Surrealism and fantastic art in Mexico], written in 1969. For a broader and more inclusive definition I make use of Omar Nieto Arroyo’s literary thesis published in 2015. From this distance we will be able to see clearly the thread unifying Mexican production of the fantastic, and thus what is most important: the wonderful malleability of the genre to show all manner of conceits. I use Daniel Lezama as an example of contemporary Mexican art.
