In my blog on my visit to the University of Mexico, I shared with you a segment of the Siqueiros mural. It's so impressive that I thought I give you the "Full Monte" this week. Students playing soccer in its shadow probably have little idea as to its stature in the world of art. Siqueiros is one of the greatest of the Mexican muralists along with Rivera and Orozco. This mural Ascent of Culture was constructed in the early to mid-1950s. As was true for the other muralists as well, Siqueiros' work represents issues of concern to the common people.
