Description
Central American Social Club Inspired by Spanish Muralism
Spanish Muralism was the promotion of mural painting starting in the 1920's, generally with social and political messages as part of efforts to reunify the country under the post Mexican Revolution government.
It was headed by the big three painters, Diego Rivera, Jos Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros.
From the 1920's to about 1970's a large number of murals with nationalistic, social and political messages were created on public buildings, starting a tradition which continues to this day in Mexico which also had impacted other parts of the Americas, including Costa Rica down to the southern tip of South America as well as the United States where it served as inspiration for the Chicano art movement.
Mexico has had a tradition of painting murals, starting with the Olmec civilization in the Pre-Hispanic period and into the colonial period, with murals mostly painted to evangelize and reinforce Christian doctrine.
The modern tradition has its roots in the 19th century, with this use of political and social themes, as well as historical events and local wildlife.
