Vida Americana: Mexican Muralists Remake American Art, 1925-1945/The Whitney Museum

Some of the notable artists that rose up through this period were Diego Rivera, Frieda Khalo, Jose Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros who also spent time in the United States and inspired many American artists to create similar narratives about American history and use their art to change economic and social injustices.
