a term coined to refer to the art made in Mexico since 1921, the year of the end of the Mexican Revolution and of the beginning of the reconstruction of the country’s social fabric. This school included Mexican and international artists working in Mexico. Its main feature is its sheer diversity, as it embraces artists from various styles, ages and backgrounds, although their works tend to share a popular, mythical, national and revolutionary consciousness. Sometimes it also includes mural painting, although in its strictest sense it refers to easel painting and non urban sculpture.
