Mexico City, Jan 1 -2
Studying
the social justice related mural painting and
Social Revolution in Mexico. Following the
Revolution of 1910, Mexican society underwent a
profound transformation in every sector of
political and cultural life. Mexican artists
participated in this social revolution during a
vital two-decade period through public art
programmes funded by the government and other
institutions. Applying a social-historical
methodology, we examined this phenomenon and
focused on the mural paintings of Diego Rivera,
José Orozco, and David Siqueiros produced during
this period. He did an indepth analysis of the form
and meaning of these mural cycles, while learned
the system of patronage, the critical connections
between state policy and aesthetics.
