David Siqueiros painted this mural called America Tropical in 1932. He painted it when he was in Los Angeles, California. David’s goal was to show how imperialism took over in a bad way and ruined everything. He painted a Mexican worker executed on a cross, and revolutionary soldiers coming from the side and an eagle from America coming down to the body. This shows the power of the imperialism that is taking over, coming from all sides and hurting Mexicans.

David Siqueiros painted this easel painting called Cain in the United States in 1947. He made this to show how awful the way African Americans were treated in America and Mexico due to fascism. In the painting, there are white people made out to be birds which are eating the one black person. This is to show how the white fascists are animals who don’t have any sympathy or care for African Americans, which is to blame on the governments America and Mexico who treat them this way. The painting is called this because of the biblical story of Cain and Abel, when Cain has a mark on his head for killing Abel, comparing this to the embarrassing mark humanity has to suffer from, from being associated with these white fascists.

David Siqueiros drew this drawing while studying murals in 1948. It was a sketch of what a mural layout would be. David used charcoal to draw a chapel, with a floor covered in different squiggles, showing that murals would be drawn there. This is also shown on the wall. This was all in preparation for his big successful murals that would come later on.

David Siqueiros created this mural called March of Humanity in the 1960s until 1971. This is located in the Foro Universal in the Polyforum Siqueiros in Colonia Napoles, located in Mexico City, Mexico. David wanted the mural to depict how politics and the nature of life have changed throughout the years, also making people embody different characteristics and ways of living. David painted people from different times of war and peace, all with same underlying message of struggle and change from time to time. On the walls, there are many different scenes which show the people fighting, with swords and defensive gear, and other scenes where people are free and at parties with no responsibilities in the world. These two clearly show the distinction between war and peace.

David Siqueiros painted this self portrait called Self-Portrait with Mirror in 1937. He painted this painting of himself using the technique of airbrush and pyroxylin. He did this strange mixture of paint in order incorporate industrial mediums into his work, which was avant-garde, or radical and against the norm of society. In the painting, David painted his hand holding a mirror, reflecting his own face broken up into different sections, representing the brokenness of the people in Mexico, divided up by skin color, wealth, and poverty.

David Siqueiros painted this mural called the Portrait of the Bourgeoisie in 1939. Josep Renau also worked on it after Siqueiros was arrested. In the picture there are three walls which are meant to depict the combining of the rule of king and queen in the past, the inequalities in groups of people in the present, and the technology of the future. This shows the hazard in the government, capitalism, and economics or industry crossing each other.

David Siqueiros painted this mural in the 1960s. It is of the 12 murals he painted on the outside of the Polyforum Siqueiros in Colonia Napoles, located in Mexico City, Mexico. The message behind this person is the search for freedom in a life full of inequalities and downfall. This is shown through the metal hands depicted in the torso, not letting the man be free from the grasp of the controlling and unfair government. David painted this in such a way that the person appears to be sad, with strokes of paint showing deep emotion in the faces.

David Siqueiros drew this political cartoon in his magazine, called El Machete in 1924. It is a drawing of a man with a machete, to allude to the fact that peasants were not allowed to have weapons anymore because of the government. The cartoon makes fun of the government’s decision.
