Before the Spanish conquest in the 16th century, Mexico came under a region now known as Mesoamerica. Mesoamerican art was strongly based on nature, the surrounding political reality and the gods. After the Spanish conquest, art in Mexico was primarily used as a mean to propagate Christianity. However, after Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821, the nation’s art featured the heroes of its independence; and indigenous themes began to appear in paintings and sculptures. The Mexican Revolution, which took place from 1910 to 1920, radically transformed Mexican culture; and it had a deep and profound affect on Mexican art. The Mexican muralism movement then dominated the Mexican art scene; and from 1920s to 1970s, numerous murals with nationalistic, social and political messages were created on public buildings. Mexican art has continued to evolve with artists exploring unfamiliar territories and carving out their own identity separate from European influences.
