Diego Rivera’s Dream of a Sunday Afternoon, a Surrealist Tableau of Mexican History

“All art is propaganda,” observed Diego Rivera. “The only difference is the kind of propaganda.” Rivera saw the mural as a medium for democratic expression. As part of Sotheby’s Most Famous Artworks in the World, this episode delves into the iconic fresco that survived Mexico City’s devastating 1985 earthquake.
Celebrating art’s unique power to promote understanding and progress across cultures, Sotheby’s and Citi Private Bank are partnering to present 5 episodes of The Most Famous Artworks in the World.

I can't help but notice that the mural's title can be seen as an allusion to Georges Seurat's pointillist masterpiece, 'Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.' It's an incredible and absolutely stellar piece of art by the iconic and incomparable Diego Rivera. Thank you for this fantastic video!
