Muralisme Meksiko

Muralisme Meksiko adalah promosi lukisan mural yang dimulai pada 1920an, umumnya dengan pesan-pesan sosial dan politik sebagai bagian dari upaya menyatukan kembali negara tersebut di bawah pemerintahan pasca Revolusi Meksiko. Gerakan tersebut dikepalai oleh “tiga pelukis besar”, Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco dan David Alfaro Siqueiros.
