It is generally that the Mexican Muralism had its roots in the 1910 revolution. The Mexican Muralists produced the greatest public revolutionary art of twentieth century, and their influence throughout Latin America has been far reaching and continuous. The muralists were the most vigorous and creative of cultural vanguard of revolutionary Mexico, with a powerful sense of the social value of their art. The mural movement was increasingly concentrated in the hands of “Los Tres Grandes”: Rivera , Orozco and Siqueiros. The muralists demanded, at least in principle, to eradication of bourgeoisie art (easel painting), and pointed to the
native Indian tradition as their model for the socialist ideal of an open, public art:” a fighting educative art for all”. These artists utilized the elements of European classic art, modern twentieth century art and combined to their own native art. They have created a magnificent and effective art in the open-air mural painting arena. This paper tries to investigate the origin of mural painting in Mexico and also works of Orozco, Rivera, and Siqueiros.
