Mexican muralists  

Definition

  • Diego Rivera (1886–1957), José Clemente Orozco (1883–1949), and David Alfaro Siqueiros (1896–1974) are the most prominent of the Mexican muralists who produced politically charged large-scale works for the public during Mexico's post-Revolution aesthetic renaissance. “Los tres grandes” (the big three), as they are known, received fine art training in the Mexican Academy and sojourned in Europe.
