The Influence and Legacy
As one of the most important movements of public art and the arts of the 20th century in general, Mexican muralism had the main role in bringing mural painting back as a respected and wide-spread artistic form with a strong social intent. Its ideas also found their way to other parts of the Americas, like Guatemala, Ecuador and Brazil. But perhaps the movement’s greatest influence can be seen in the United States, where many Mexican muralists spent time and created seminal paintings, including los tres grandes who practically paved the way for other artists to come and work there. Orozco was the first to make murals there in the late 1920s, at Pomona College in Claremont, California, and later in San Francisco and New York as well. Diego Rivera left some important pieces in Detroit, while Siqueiros’s most notable paintings are still on the walls in Los Angeles.
