Murales de Siqueiros y Guerrero
Murales de Siqueiros y Guerrero, Mexican murals in Escuela México, Chillán, Chile.
The murals feature two distinct sections: 'Death to the Invader' by Siqueiros in the library and 'From Mexico to Chile' by Guerrero at the entrance.
Following the 1939 earthquake in Chillán that caused 10,000 deaths, Mexico sent artists Siqueiros and Guerrero to create these murals as a symbol of support.
The north wall depicts Mexican history with Emperor Cuauhtémoc, while the south wall presents Chilean history through figures like Galvarino and Caupolicán.
The murals underwent extensive restoration by Mexican experts from CENCROPAM after sustaining damage during the 2010 earthquake.
Siqueiros employed industrial materials including oil, duco, and pyroxylin on masonite boards, while Guerrero used traditional fresco techniques on lime plaster.
