This beautifully filmed program looks at the wall paintings of some of the most famous Mexican muralists - Diego Rivera, Juan O'Gorman, José Clemente Orozco - and at the work of Luis Barragán, the greatest Mexican architect of this century. Their common medium is the wall. The muralists sought to return art to the people, by putting it on the walls of public buildings, just as it had been in the days of their Mayan forefathers. Barragán embraced a modernism imported from Europe, but developed a style that echoes with memories of ancient times. Both the muralists and Barragán used the wall to create something distinctively new and vital, but they all found their guiding force in the roots of Mexican art and culture, in traditions grounded in the pre-Columbian era.
