RE: Mexican Murals – Political Expression: the Painting is on the Wall
Very informative. Mexico is not the only Latin American country to use murals to get a point across. Nicaragua also uses these murals. Vivid colours and vivid story telling. It is interesting that these two countries share a similar back ground that begins with the Spanish Conquistadors. If you delve a little further more of the tragic history will unfold.
Well, most countries in Latin America share a similar history. As for Nicaragua and Mexico, they were even the same country until the end of the first Mexican empire.
But now that you mention it, would you like to post some pictures of some Nicaraguan murals? I would really be interested in seeing some.
Sure thing. I don't think I have any right now as my son used them to do an art thesis for his baccalaureate. I will take the camera to Managua and shoot a few for you.
Nice! I'm looking forward to them. Thank you.
