Note: I am willing to save you $$ on the shipping by removing from frame David Alfaro Siqueiros, born in Chihuahua, Mexico, one of the 20th Century's most influential muralists. Portrayed Mexico 's rich history and contemporary economic problems in visually bold political terms. Siqueiros was influenced by Marxism, as evident by his treatment of the class struggle and his use of modern industrial equipment, such as the airbrush. Public murals, he believed, were a powerful and effective medium to make his work accessible to a broad audience traditionally ignored by art institutions. After becoming Secretary of the Communist Party in 1928, he was frequently jailed or expelled from Mexico and nearly gave up painting.
