La Ruptura was born as a contrast to the Mexican School of Painting of the 50's, they used a language other than the one that this institution marked in favor of the state, due to this, the artists members of "La Ruptura", sought to create art for the people, with a political and social message. This action took away the support of public institutions and as a consequence they had to work independently, without an audience, without spaces, or collectors.
La ruptura is a title that is used to refer to a generation that used a language other than that of the Mexican School of Painting, between the 1950s and 1960s, staging different moments of transformation in Mexican artistic creation from nationalist to plural.
In connection with LS / Galería, this exhibition is presented that aims to show the validity in the work of those who have been part of the rupture, transition or transgression in Mexican art, where despite the physical absence of some of them, such as Pedro Coronel, Francisco Corzas, Lilia Carrillo, Fernando García Ponce, José Luis Cuevas, Kazuya Sakai, Alberto Gironella, Juan Soriano, Arnaldo Coen, Francisco Toledo, Vicente Rojo, among others, continue with the same spirit that drove them in the beginning: creative freedom .
