Best Answer

It is one of several artistic expressions performed by Mexican artists. For example, besides being a muralist, Diego Rivera was also a painter and sculptor.

Several murals were commissioned by the Mexican government; most of them can be found on government buildings and structures, such as in the Mexican National Palace, or the Mexico City International Airport. All of them try to depict Mexican history and culture, from the ancient Aztecs some 700 years ago to present-day Mexico (circa 1950, when those murals were painted). Also, most of them have socialist motifs, showing the class conflict; this is because Diego Rivera and most muralists at the time, sympathized with socialist ideals brought by the Russian Revolution.
