The Mexican Muralists
Three-week course, first session
Mural painting has a long and influential place in the history of Mexican art. This course will concentrate on the initial period of the movement through the works of Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, José C. Orozco, and Rodolfo Montenegro. We will study the technical aspects of mural painting and the didactic applications of the works themselves. The course will place the works of the muralists and other artists, craft people and teachers in the context of the larger project of rebuilding the country after the Mexican Revolution. (.5 unit)
