Mexican muralist, international Marxist

Upon his release from prison, Siqueiros completed work at Chapultepec, received the Lenin Peace Prize in the Soviet Union, and began work on a large-scale mural project that was to become The March of Humanity (1966/71), installed at the Polyforum complex in Mexico City.

Summary of Diego Rivera

Widely regarded as the most influential Mexican artist of the 20^th century, Diego Rivera was truly a larger-than-life figure who spent significant periods of his career in Europe and the U.S., in addition to his native Mexico. Together with David Alfaro Siqueiros and José Clemente Orozco, Rivera was among the leading members and founders of the Mexican Muralist movement. Deploying a style informed by disparate sources such as European modern masters and Mexico's pre-Columbian heritage, and executed in the technique of Italian fresco painting, Rivera handled major themes appropriate to the scale of his chosen art form: social inequality; the relationship of nature, industry, and technology; and the history and fate of Mexico. More than half a century after his death, Rivera is still among the most revered figures in Mexico, celebrated for both his role in the country's artistic renaissance and re-invigoration of the mural genre as well as for his outsized persona.
