A Q&A for Film Siqueiros: Walls of Passion with Prof. Jennifer Jolly
Join us tomorrow for a Q&A with Prof. Jennifer Jolly (Art History) about the film SIQUEIROS: Walls of Passion that focuses on the life and work of David Siqueiros, the famed Mexican muralist. The hour-long documentary profiles Mexican visual artist David Alfaro Siqueiros (1896–1974) and the resurrection of his Los Angeles mural América Tropical, located at the birthplace of Los Angeles and later championed by the Chicano movement as a symbol of its oppressed culture. One of the great Mexican artists of the 20th century and one of the three great Mexican muralists along with Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco, Siqueiros was a controversy-stirring revolutionary and activist who lived with theatrical flair and painted on an epic scale. As one of the primary advocates of modern public art, Siqueiros painted murals in Mexico, the U.S., Cuba, Chile, and Argentina.
