Muralism was a Mexican post-revolutionary artistic and cultural movement that treated art as a gateway for communication on the themes of power, cultural identity, and the people.  The immense amount of vibrant energy that surged to reunify Mexico as a nation can be seen through the artwork produced by prominent artists like Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco. The first three decades of the twentieth century were marked by a nationalistic impetus that sought to recognize customs and traditions of the Mexican people and to share in the pride of the Mexican heritage. Diego Rivera, the father of Mexican Muralism, produced a wide array of murals that can be seen today all over Mexico and in the US. These murals were painted on all forms of public spaces, schools, universities, government institutions, and museums, like the Detroit Institute of Art in Michigan. The murals were done in fresco and were filled with vibrant colors depicting the sociopolitical environment in Mexico. These murals portray the changes brought along by the revolution and serve as a tool for social change. Their legacy continues to be admired and studied today.
