Art Mexican Calendar Girls

Glamor gets deep and classic at the California Heritage Museum's Mexican Calendar Girls, opening with a Cinco de Mayo reception. The color-soaked exhibition comprises a collection of glossy lithographic prints of seductive señoritas lifted from the pages of Angela Villalba's book of the same name. The provocative pinups provide a backstory for Hollywood's Golden Era (1930-1960), but beneath the coquettish kitsch lies a larger story: that of the images' importance in a Mexican art form with a long, vibrant social and cultural history.
