The Mexican Muralism Movement

The Mexican Muralism Movement was an artistic movement in the early 20th century focused on creating large-scale murals that depicted Mexico’s history, culture, and social issues.

Their works often combined bold imagery, vibrant colors, and social messages, making art accessible to all. This movement significantly influenced Mexican art and culture, emphasizing the power of art to reflect societal struggles and pride.
