Why did the Mexican government fund muralism?
Mexican muralism was an art project initially funded by the Mexican government in the immediate wake of the Mexican Revolution of 1910 to 1920, intended to depict visions of Mexico's past, present and future for a wide public rather than a gallery audience. Artists including Diego Rivera painted these visions directly onto the walls of public buildings, making the movement inseparable from the nation-building project that funded it.
