Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco were the most prominent figures in the revival of mural painting that brought Mexican art to world renown following the Revolution of 1910–20. This volume of the MoMA Artist Series explores ten important paintings by these artists, selected from The Museum of Modern Art’s pioneering collection of Latin American art. All but three of the works were made in New York City, where Rivera, Siqueiros, and Orozco found American patrons and extended their fame; together they reflect the wide divergence in style, tone, subject, and medium these artists embraced.
