Patricians and Patricides, Political mural in Old Customs Buildings, Mexico City, Mexico.
The mural spans multiple walls of the building, depicting figures and scenes through bold colors and dynamic compositions created with industrial materials.
David Alfaro Siqueiros completed this mural in 1944 during a period when the Mexican government supported public art following the Mexican Revolution.
The artwork explores themes of social inequality and class struggles through the representation of aristocrats and common people in Mexican society.
The mural remains open for public viewing inside the Old Customs Buildings, located in the central district of Mexico City near major transportation hubs.
Siqueiros applied chemical pigments and synthetic materials to create textures and effects that were revolutionary for mural painting techniques in the 1940s.
