Modernism and the Mural Movement - Blog #6

This weeks lesson is on the Mural Movement and Modernism in Latin America and how it was expressed thru art.

This lesson was quite interesting to due to a couple of enlightening historical reasons.

Ist was the information on the Mexican Revolution and the evolution of the countries political progress. I was unaware of the PRIs long term reign as the counties main political power, and the PAN finally winning. I remember my father mentioning some details about Fox, the current president, but never realized how significant it was. Also the part of Gen. Diaz eventualy being forced of out his dictator thrown and the country attempting to stabilize itself. When I really thing about it, its pretty much similar it to US in it move for independance and how greatly significant and solid our Constition is, that it was created and still to this day it is the foundation of our country.

2nd is the information on the Mural Movement originating in Latin America and the artisically varying styles of "Los Tres Grandes," Rivera, Orozco, and Sigueiros.
