Mexican Muralism
This month, the Routledge Encyclopedia of Modernism celebrates the 100th anniversary of Mexican Muralism (c. 1920–1940). The Mexican Muralist movement was a nationalistic movement that aimed at producing an official modern art form distinct from European traditions, thus embracing and clearly expressing a unique Mexican cultural and social identity.
