Mexican muralism
Mexican muralism is an art movement that emerged in the early 20th century, primarily in Mexico. It aimed to make art accessible to the public by using large-scale murals to convey social and political messages. Prominent artists like Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco played key roles in this movement, often depicting themes related to the struggles of the working class and the history of Mexico.
The movement was influenced by the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution and sought to promote national identity and cultural pride. Murals were often painted on public buildings, making them visible to everyone and encouraging community engagement. This art form remains significant in Mexican culture and continues to inspire artists worldwide.
