Prasse Collection 1972.217 © Banco de México Diego Rivera Frida Kahlo Museums Trust, Mexico, D.F. / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York During the 1920s, following ten years of political conflict, the Mexican government commissioned the country's most prominent artists to create civic murals that addressed a broad public and celebrated Mexico’s history and goals for the future. Diego Rivera created this print based on a detail from one such commission, created for the Secretariat of Public Education in Mexico City. Diego Rivera produced only 13 prints during his long career, encouraged by his dealer Carl Zigrosser of Weyhe Gallery.
