    Was it just something he was good at? Did he love it passionately? Or did he want to change how people thought about art entirely? I think it was mixture of all three, ever since his was young he was intrigued by art and had natural creative ability to produce his own ideas. While was in America he worked through multiple occupations, but then found his way back to art, and after meeting Orozco he knew he loved it, and knew what he wanted to do. His art was exactly what Dr. Atl had wanted, to abandon European art style, and create Mexico’s own art from the richness of the culture and history that came with it. Jose, used his travels and his knowledge of his heritage to create pieces that made observers ask questions, to make their brains think deeper than what was right in front of them, and analyze his work to find a deeper meaning. When looking at Jose’s works and his life journey, an important question to ask is how did his work change how we think about muralism and the Mexican art style? For Jose, he grew up in time of turmoil in his country, being only a boy during the Mexican revolution, and was most likely exposed to great tragedies. Leaving Mexico as soon as he could, he began opening his mind to different cultures without even realizing it. His travels greatly influenced his art, which therefore greatly influenced art itself. He was for the under privileged and lower class, and his beliefs came…

    2. Two individuals I selected from the Voces Vivas in the museum I chose were David A. Siqeiros and Andres Laguna. David Siqeiros was a political muralist who expressed his social views in his artwork. He was a communist/socialist. Sieiros was born in December 29, 1896, in Chihuahua, Mexico. Much of his artwork reflected the oppression of Chicanos in the United States. The most famous mural he painted was the “America Tropical”. It was 82ft by 18ft and was done in La Placita Olvera. This mural reflected imperialism and the exploitation inflicted on the indigenous people of Latin America by the Spanish/European powers. There was much controversy with the mural and its meaning, it was later destroyed. The other person I selected was Andre Laguna, a Linotypist for La Opinion. Laguna was born in El Districto Federal De Mexico. A…

    Born in the capital city of Mexico on September 18, 1890 Jose Tomas De Cuellar was one of colonial Latin America's polarizing figures and from one Mexico's wealthy families. He attended college at the military college of Chapultepec. Later he entered the Academy of San Carlos after taking part in the defense of the castle before the United States invasion on September 13, 1847. He went on to become secretary of the Mexican legislation in Washington D.C. and was secretary of foreign affairs. He gained note ability in 1848 for his essay "Duty and Sacrifices" in both Mexico and Madrid. But, he is most notably known for his skills as an observer and being a master illustrator in writing in his genre and because of the telling of humorous stories to make fun of the society he was living in.1 The Magic Lantern is but a small part of his repertoire , but is an excellent glimpse back into a culture that is long gone but still influencing its people today.…

    Vasco Nunez de Balboa

    Vasco Nunez Balboa was a very significant explorer that was born in 1475 and died in 1519. Balboa was born into a deprived Spanish family in Spain and sailed for Spain. He is most remembered for his expedition in 1513 to Panama from Spain hoping to make a new discovery to impress King Ferdinand, on the expedition he found the Pacific Ocean and claimed the ocean and all the land bordering it. He died in 1519 because he was charged with treason against Spain and beheaded although, he was really innocent and just framed by a friend. I think that Vasco Nunez Balboa should be part of your new series of stamps featuring famous European Explorers because I believe that Balboa deserves to be honored considering, that he was a man of his country who sailed and claimed land for his country and his important and rememberable discovery of the Pacific Ocean. Also I think that’s the least he is owed considering, that Balboa was not guilty but still found guilty for treason against Spain although, he was really innocent and framed by a friend. Even though his unfair death is not our fault I still believe that he is owed that and deserves to be honored for his discovery. I think that all explorers should get some kind of appreciation and deserve to be honored for their discoveries especially Vasco Nunez de Balboa.…
