Abstract

HERNANDEZ DEL VILLAR, Sureya Alejandra. The syndicalist adventure of the muralist painters: the Union of Technical Workers, Painters and Sculptors (1922-1924). Let. hist. [online]. 2019, n.20, pp.115-139. ISSN 2448-8372.  https://doi.org/10.31836/lh.20.7149.

In this paper I will analyze the organization of the “Union of Technical Workers, Painters and Sculptors”, which efficacy as a corporation was more hypothetical than practical, but positioned a group of mexican artist as actors in the posrevolutionary socio-political context and as avant-garde artists. My aim is to illustrate how the muralist painters defined an idea of artist through the promotion of a gremial structure which traced links and symbolic homologations with the workers, but also it propitiated dialogues which generated aesthetics propositions.

Keywords : Worker; artist; union; Mexican Muralism; painters.
