When it comes to art we can always find something new about it. That has been exactly what occurred when I came across with Mexican Muralism while looking for something quite different. I must confess it was an amazing surprise. Three painters are regarded as the most outstanding in the movement: Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros.

| Liberation of the peon by Diego Rivera |
By Diego Rivera I chose "Liberation of the Peon", an impressive mural. Rivera is known not only because of his murals but also because of his others works. He also married twice to painter Frida Kahlo.

| Presencia de América Latina by J.G. Camarena |
José Clemente Orozco was more fond to human suffering and less realistic than his fellows. By him I chose "Gods of modern world".
 |
| Gods of Modern World by J.C. Orozco |
In closing, we have David Alfaro Siqueiros, who was a social realist, muralist, and Stalinist (really committed to politics even trying to murder Leon Trotsky....). By him "The march of huminity".

| The March of Humanity by D.A. Siqueiros |
