Invisible Cities

Not sure if this is the right fit?

Consider Art and Architecture, in Mexico by James Oles.

“James Oles offers a single-author, chronological sweep of Mexican art from the Spanish Conquest to the early twenty-first century, moving across painting, sculpture, architecture, prints, and photography. The value lies in its breadth and in the interpretive links drawn between periods and media, which can reframe familiar works. The downside is a steady, detail-rich tone: chapters accumulate archival material and chronological argumentation, so casual readers seeking quick, illustrated browsing may find the pace taxing rather than lively.”
