Mexican revolution
At the end of the Mexican revolution in 1921, the government engaged several artists like Diego, Jose Clemente, and David Siqueres to help decorate walls Delper & Smith(2018) by painting as a way of promoting ideals of the revolution. The paintings depicted peasants and workers as heroes and expressed the plight of workers with stooped backs, bowed heads, and faceless images to show injustice towards laborers hence creating a new image sensitive to workers.
The associations were attempted to promote social and political ideals as well as celebrate peoples’ potential to craft the nation’s history and define Mexican identity following the revolution Dalton(2018).
