Abstract
As a continuation of the essays: Vanguard Japanese Art, MUCA Campus, Mexico 1972; towards an analysis of post-war Mexico-Japan cultural relations: the exhibition as a political-cultural statement (2019) and Traces of Mono-ha in Mexico: A dialogue with the latest Japanese avant-garde (2022) seek to explain the introduction of the plastic and conceptual modernity of avant-garde Japanese thought, in an effort to visualize and formalize the possible influence of the art style called Mono-Ha in Mexico.
That is why in this essay seeks to expose the similarities and differences, both ideological and practical, that could exist within the expressionism’s gesture of the Mono-Ha in Minimal Art, as well as a kind of communion between abstract expressionism and Minimal in the piece MAINICHI Daily News April 12 1971 A and B by the Japanese artist Shimotani Chihiro which is part of the artistic heritage of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
