The Muralists

The Muralists were a group of Mexican artists active during the early 20th century, known for creating large-scale murals that depicted Mexico’s history, culture, and social issues. They used public art to promote national identity and social change, blending traditional Mexican styles with modern techniques. Prominent figures like Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros believed murals could educate and inspire communities. Their work is internationally recognized for its powerful imagery and contribution to both art and social dialogue, transforming public spaces into vivid storytelling canvases.
