... El muralismo mexicano A) Reflexin (No escribas las respuestas, anota ideas para hablar en clase) 1) En tu opinin, consideras que esta imagen es arte? Explica tu respuesta Mi tesoro de Eme Freethinker1 2) Crees que el arte debe tener un mensaje (poltico, social) o deben enfocarse en la belleza esttica? 3) Qu diferencias hay entre el arte de los museos y el arte urbano? 1 https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/PqywvwMttIaCVqJOMDJytyigk0xwjtSUsGncXu0zu7FbFdGdQwaIj7Vq nas_Qg6p8Id_uA=s128 B) Lectura El muralismo mexicano2 El muralismo mexicano es un movimiento pictrico iniciado en la dcada de 1920, como parte de las polticas de modernizacin del Estado de Mxico tras la revolucin de 1910. Se trata de un movimiento inspirado por un propsito: construir una identidad nacional para aglutinar3 a los diferentes sectores de la sociedad mexicana, dadas las profundas desigualdades sociales de la poca, especialmente educativas y culturales. (. . .) Con el propsito de crear un sentimiento de unidad nacional y promover los valores del Estado moderno, Jos Vasconcelos impuls, por un lado, la educacin pblica nacional, concentrando esfuerzos en la lengua castellana como punto de unificacin en un Mxico pluricultural y multilingstico. Por el otro, desarroll un programa de arte pblico para construir y reforzar la identidad y la memoria colectiva. Segn Claudia Mandel en su ensayo "Muralismo mexicano: arte pblico, identidad, memoria colectiva", Vasconcelos se inspir para ello en las ideas de los intelectuales rusos Anatoli Lunacharsky y Mximo Gorki, promotores del arte pblico para la edificacin social, as como en las campaas de alfabetizacin y creacin de bibliotecas pblicas del gobierno norteamericano. De este modo, Vasconcelos pretenda asegurarse tambin la integracin de la poblacin indgena, tradicionalmente discriminada por los sectores dominantes. Caractersticas del muralismo mexicano El muralismo mexicano segua un programa para lograr los propsitos del Estado revolucionario: en primer lugar, la valoracin y recuperacin de la historia, fuente de la identidad nacional, y, en segundo lugar, el reconocimiento de que los descendientes de esa historia seguan presentes en la contemporaneidad. Esto le dara no solo temas y valores al arte, sino una esttica muy particular. Veamos. Monumentalidad Si el muralismo era un arte concebido por el Estado para una estrategia social, es claro que deba tener un alcance pblico, lo que solo poda lograrse mediante el muro o la escultura monumental. 2 3 Adaptado de: https://www.culturagenial.com/es/muralismo-mexicano/ Reunir; juntar As, el soporte esencial del muralismo mexicano fue, evidentemente, el muro, lo que le dara monumentalidad al concepto artstico. Estos muros estaban dispuestos en edificios del Estado, en escuelas, universidades o iglesias.(. . .) El muro, adems, garantizaba que el arte cumpliera con su propsito pblico al no ser coleccionable, asestando un golpe contra el concepto elitista del mercado del arte. As, el soporte elegido era coherente con los valores de la revolucin triunfante. (. . .) Temas del muralismo mexicano VALORES REPUBLICANOS UNIVERSALES Y PROPAGANDA POLTICA En un principio, se representaban temas dentro del idealismo individualista del promotor del muralismo, Jos Vasconcelos. Principios republicanos y libertarios sern algunos de ellos. Aquellos eran tiempos en los cuales las ideologas de izquierda estaban en plena expansin y se erigan como una promesa. As, tambin se representaron valores y principios rectores del socialismo (la lucha de clases, la libertad, la opresin, la vida de los campesinos, la clase obrera), sus lderes polticos, entre otros. PROGRESO, CIENCIA, TECNOLOGA Y CONOCIMIENTO La tendencia del movimiento muralista era suscribir la modernizacin y el progreso. Por lo tanto, tambin hicieron apologa del conocimiento, la ciencia y la tecnologa, incluidas en ello la industrializacin y la mquina. Todo ello representaba el culto al progreso como horizonte desde una lgica marxista. PASADO PREHISPNICO Los muralistas se abocaron a representar la historia y mitologa de las culturas prehispnicas, y, de esa manera, le dieron una imagen y una voz a los herederos del pasado indgena a travs de las artes. En estas se incluan mitos, smbolos, costumbres, relatos histricos, etc. Sin embargo, lo indgena no se represent desde la fundacin del movimiento, sino que fue un hallazgo progresivo. HISTORIA DE MXICO Diferentes pasajes de la historia mexicana pasaran a formar parte del repertorio temtico. La conquista y colonizacin, la guerra de independencia, la revolucin mexicana, la abolicin de la esclavitud, las campaas de promocin de la alfabetizacin, etc. Algunas representaciones mostraran los triunfos de la nacin, otras las contradicciones frente a las cuales haba que luchar. Comprensin 4) Cundo surgi el movimiento muralista? Cules eran sus dos objetivos principales? 5) Si pensamos en estos objetivos, por qu era importante que fuera un arte pblico? Tambin, por qu era importante la monumentalidad? 6) Lee con atencin los temas del muralismo. Ve a este enlace, selecciona uno de los murales y: a) Analiza la esttica: Qu colores son ms relevantes?
