The Adventures of the Modernist Cannibals (Les Aventures des Cannibales Modernistes), 1999. Enrique Chagoya (American, b. 1953), published by Shark's Ink, printed by Shark's Ink. Accordion-folded book with eight lithograph and woodcut with chine collé panels; each page: 19 x 29.3 cm (7 1/2 x 11 9/16 in.); overall: 19.2 x 235.1 cm (7 9/16 x 92 9/16 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, Dudley P. Allen Fund 2018.17 © Enrique Chagoya Enrique Chagoya modeled Les Aventures des Cannibales Modernistes on the format of a pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican codex. By altering, combining, and juxtaposing images from diverse sources, Chagoya presents cultural and religious icons in contradictory and unexpected contexts, thus disrupting a linear view of history. In this topsy-turvy world, Mexican stereotypes play dominant roles, complicating the idea of European political and artistic supremacy.
