Description: By far Mexico's most emblematic artistic movement, the Muralism emerged at a critical moment in the development of Mexican nationalism, when the Revolution had just come to a close and the country was looking for a new identity. It was Joseþ Vasconcelosan exceptional mind who laid the foundations for it, followed by the great painters, Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Joseþ Clemente Orozco, who lent shape to our concept of the nation. Their expository murals are like books painted on walls, giving life and color to the motherland.ʺ This is an invitation to revisit these murals and to revel in their beauty.
