C. Man at the Crossroads Looking with Hope and Light Vision to the Choosing of a New and Better Future

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in the Alameda

Explanation:

    Diego Rivera (1886-1957) was a man of passions: well-known for his reputation as a womanizer, he had great affection for his roots and expressed his fearless communist ideals. His art was his way of communicating with the people. Not an elite of intellectuals, but all those in the early twentieth century trying to survive the Mexican civil war, which was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.

    One of its most emblematic murals, "Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in the Alameda" (1947), is a 65 square meter piece that summarizes the history of Mexican civilization, following a chronological order. Seen from left to right, the work tells the episode of the conquest of then New Spain, the massacres of the infidels, the construction of the Church of San Diego and the manifestation of women's rights - in the figure of poet Juana Inés de la Cruz. It is also one of the most controversial works of the painter, thanks to the inscription of the phrase "God does not exist", a situation that sent the mural to censorship in most social circles of that time. Only in 1956 would the mural be freely displayed again, after Rivera had replaced the controversial phrase with another inscription.
