Place them in the context of mexico’s political and cultural history after the revolution.

Choose two paintings featured on the Whitney’s “Vida Americana” exhibit or from the Diego Rivera website. Place them in the context of Mexico’s political and cultural history after the revolution. Utilize the chapter on Mexico (“Taming the Revolution”) in the book “Modern Latin America” 9th edition and complementary essays to provide a historical context for the paintings.
This should address: (1) what were the competing views on race in Mexico, and particularly regarding Mexico’s indigenous communities. (2) Where does the artist of your choice and their work fit into these historic debates? Interpret and analyze two paintings and what they tell us about Mexican race/cultural relations during this period of time.
The post should be more than an image analysis, it needs to include the material from the readings in the post (references, examples, indigenismo, specific policies and people in Mexico at the time).
Posts should be the equivalent of 2 pages (minimum), double-spaced, 12-point font. Weblink for paintings and materials: https://whitney.org/exhibitions/vida-americana (Links to an external site.)
