Carlos Segoviano is a Ph.D student in art history at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. His research deals with the metaphysical school, Surrealism, Futurism, and the Mexican muralist movement, with special emphasis on Frida Kahlo, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Antonio Berni, and Emilio Baz. Segoviano’s research has taken him to Los Angeles, where he has contributed to the rescue of David Alfaro Siqueiros’ 1932 mural “America Tropical,” as well as Buenos Aires, where he studied the 1933 mural “Plastic Exercise,” created by Siqueiros, Berni, Spilimbergo, and Castagnino. In addition to his research, Segoviano has a column in the digital magazine Augur.
