Mexican Revolutionary art

Mexican Revolutionary art emerged in the early 20th century as a reflection of the social and political upheaval following the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920). It aimed to depict the struggles of the common people, promote national identity, and challenge traditional art ideals. Famous artists like Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros used bold imagery, vibrant colors, and murals to portray workers, indigenous communities, and revolutionary ideals. This art emphasized social justice, cultural pride, and a sense of collective identity, becoming a powerful tool for education and political expression during a transformative period in Mexico’s history.
