Assignment task: To learn a bit about the Mexican muralists (Rivera, Orozco, Siqueiros) and their influence on North American painters
Listen to the podcast and answer the questions below.
Podcast:
YouTube Video: After Los Tres Grandes: Aesthetic and Political Legacies of Mexican Muralism | Live from the Whitney
Let's pay attention to the tradition of these artists, their sources (protagonists), subject matter (theme), and their uniqueness (style). Even though we are studying the artwork of the Mexican muralists, that does not mean that we are studying their life. That is, we will not get into their political views.
1. What/Who are the sources of the Mexican Muralists?
2. What/Who is their subject matter?
3. Does each Mexican muralist have his own uniqueness (style, technique)?
4. Based on the Podcast, post a question for me (I'll provide my answers at the end of the assignment).
There's no minimum of sentences for this assignment, but do try to elaborate on your answers.
