Title: "El olvido está lleno de memoria"
Description: Throughout his artistic career, Canadian-born Mexican painter Arnold Belkin (1930-1992) made more than thirty murals with which he continued and renewed the rich tradition of national mural painting, taking it to a new stage of splendor. The breadth of its themes, the depth of its belief in the most worthy ideals of humanity, and the creativity of its plastic language and aesthetic strategies, infused the movement with a new energy and historical and aesthetic value that deserves to be recognized.
