GARCIA BONILLA, Emilio. Artists dressed overalls. The beginning of the Mexican muralist movement (1922-1924). Sig. his [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.46, pp.348-375. Epub 04-Out-2021. ISSN 1665-4420.
A look at the artists who worked on the walls of the Colegio de San Ildefonso and their executed paintings allows us to follow the formative process of the artistic movement known as Mexican muralism. In less than two years, this trend gradually acquired its ideological, aesthetic and technical characteristics as a result of a process that included its distancing from the ideas of the Secretary of Public Education, José Vasconcelos. Along with the already well-known influence of the Communist Party of Mexico on plastic artists, contributions from other projects are included, such as the School of Outdoor Painting and the Solidarity Group of the Labor Movement. In addition, the indirect but valuable and rarely mentioned participation of the director of the National Preparatory School, Vicente Lombardo Toledano, is detailed.
