Mexican Calendar Girls

chicas de calendarios mexicanos

Angela Villalba

foreword by Carlos Monsi Yais

Mexican calendar girls, produced from the 1930s to the 1960s, are popular throughout the U.S. and Mexico. The art form is traced for the first time in this bilingual book, with over 150 of the vibrant paintings and includes biographies of the artists and the social circumstances of the calendars.

Angela Villalba (California) has an import business that specializes in Mexican popular culture.
