El arte de los "pioneros" y los surrealistas egipcios y el muralismo mexicano

Abstract

With the foundation of the School of Fine Arts at Cairo came the predicament of what kind of Art to teach there; the education received by some of the students, alongside with an influence from Mexican mural art, is here reviewed. The artists trained at the School of Fine Arts continued their studies abroad, where they discovered artistic movements and expressions beyond European referents in semi peripheral countries —Mexico among them; a remarkable example of this is Muralism, whose influence was both formal and ideological.
