Mural Painting and Social Revolution in Mexico, 1920-1940: Art o f the New Order is a full-length critical history of this major movement in the history of modern Latin American art. Following the Revolution of 1910, Mexican society underwent a profound transformation in every sector of political and cultural life. Mexican artists participated in this social revolution during a vital two-decade period through public art programs funded by the government and other institutions. Applying a social-historical methodology, Leonard Folgarait examines this phenomenon and focuses on the mural paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros produced during this period. He provides an in-depth analysis of the form and meaning of these mural cycles, while documenting the sytstem of patronage, the critical connections between state policy and aesthetics, and the visual strategies devised by patrons and artists in order to maximize the impact of these propagandistic images.
