Mexico was refurbished by a fascism -resistant mural

In Mexico has been restored from the 1930s anti-fascist mural.

For almost a century decayed, 12 meters long wall painting The Struggle Against Terrorism was revealed Thursday at the Michoacán Museum in Morelia, Mexico.

The work describes the history of persecution and resistance from Bible times to the present. In the painting, the giant characters referring to fascist leaders hang on the walls with Jesus’ life, Spanish Inquisition and symbols related to the Ku Klux Klan.

The mural was painted in the 1930s by the Canadian-US painter Philip Guston and an American artist Reuben kadish. They are both of Jewish backgrounds.

There is very little known about the birth of spectacular mural painting. British magazine The Guardian says the Mexican wall painting artist David Alfaro Siqueiros worked as a mentor of Guston and Kadish and invited them to paint in Mexico.

Siqueiros was one of the post -Mexican Revolutionary artists who, in their art, sought to partially educate the uninteresting population by painting spectacular works in public spaces.

Antifasist However, the mural was hidden shortly after its completion. The church -owned painting was resented due to downward crossing and nudity.

The painting damaged by moisture and dirt was found under the wall built on top of it in the 1970s.

It took two years to repair damage and revitalize the original colors.

“I am deeply grateful to anyone who worked hard to revive this exceptional work. Its message today feels as important as 90 years ago, ”says the daughter of artist Philip Guston Musa Mayer To Artlyst Media.
