Son of a bourgeois family, was educated at the National School of Fine Arts, Mexico City, the Mexican Revolution erupted in 1910 and a newly politicized Siqueiros led a successful student strike at the San Carlos Academy that changed the school's teaching methods. At age of 18 Siqueiros joined the Mexican Revolution Army, attained rank of captain. Joined the Communist Party, worked to undermine Mexico's military dictator, Victoriano Huerta and did further study in Spain, Italy, and France. One of the founders of the mural movement in Mexico, introduced technical innovations in his work. He reflected his Marxist ideology. His Communist activities led to numerous jailing’s and periods of exile. He produced thousands of square feet of murals were social, political and industrial changes were portrayed from a left-wing perspective. Siqueiros wasn't afraid to bring art to his political work. Co-founded the Congress of Soldier Artists. Teamed with Diego Rivera, fellow muralist and hard-core leftist, to start El Machete, the Communist Party official paper. His life and work bounce between acceptance and repudiation. During the 1920s and early 1930s Siqueiros was jailed often for his political work. In 1922 he was commissioned to paint what may be his most famous mural, "Los Mitos" (The Myths") at the National Preparatory School. In the 1930s, Siqueiros came to the United States and worked at the Chouinard School of Art, Los Angeles (1932-1933), where he developed new technical processes for outdoor murals, including the use of airbrushes to apply paint. His murals there told the story of America's forceful relationship with Latin America. His work took him to South America and then back to New York, as delegate at the Revolutionary Artists Congress in New York City in 1936, and there he established a school in which he set forth his revolutionary artistic ideas. The students included Jackson Pollock, who attended the workshop and helped build floats. In fact, Siquieros has been credited with teaching drip and pour techniques to Pollock that later resulted in his "allover" paintings, made from 1947 to 1950, and which constitute Pollock's greatest achievement. In 1937 he joined the Spanish Republican Army. Siqueiros' Communist sympathies ran so deep, and affinity for Stalin was so strong, that in 1940 Siqueiros led an attack on the home of Leon Trotsky, who'd been granted asylum in Mexico by President Cárdenas. Trotsky survived the ambush, but was later assassinated, an act that Siqueiros may or may not have had a hand in. Anti-Fascist artistic themes: Trial of Fascism in the Electrical Workers Union building (1939), Cuauhtémoc against the Myth (1944), New Democracy in the Palace of Fine Arts (1945), Patricians and Patricides (1945), Ascent of Culture in the National University of Mexico (1952-1956) and Future Victory of Medical Science Against Cancer in the Medical Center (1958). His best-known mural outside Mexico Death to the Invader in Chile (1941-1942). In 1959 the Mexican government sentenced Siqueiros to five years in jail for "social dissolution," supporting railroad workers," but later he completed a mural commissioned by the Mexican government at Chapultepec Castle. His next major work The March of Humanity at Poliforum Cultural in Mexico City, one of the first buildings ever built specifically to house a mural.
