David Alfaro Siqueiros

1896–1974 · Mexican

  • Open air school
  • Academy of San Carlos

David Alfaro Siqueiros combined revolutionary politics with technical experimentation, using spray guns, industrial paint, photographic projection and dramatic perspective in large-scale murals. He treated muralism as a modern technological medium rather than a revival of fresco alone.
