Commentary: Ten issues of the Estridentista journal Horizonte were published in Xalapa in 1926-27, edited by Manuel Maples Arce under the patronage of the governor of the state of Veracruz, General Heriberto Jara. Méndez and Ramón Alva de la Canal were responsible for the covers and most of the illustrations. Some of the illustrations and decorations (viñetas) are credited but many others are anonymous; it is not certain which of those are by Méndez. Of the the illustrations that can be definitively attributed to Méndez, those based on prints will be included in the Prints section of the catalogue. A selection of those based on other media are shown here. (Peter Schneider)

Méndez painted Calle de Xalapa (Xalapa Street) known only in a black and white photograph, during his time in the Stridentist Movement, when he lived with other Stridentists in Xalapa (also spelled Jalapa). The image appeared in Horizonte, the Stridentist publication from the Xalapa years. Méndez juxtaposed tradition with modernity, alternating the triangular forms of the roofs with wires and streetlights. (Deborah Caplow)
