(Drivebycuriosity) - Mexico City is full of wonders. One of them is the Palacio de Bellas Artes, a cultural center in the heart of the mega-city, which is used for events in music, dance, theater, opera and literature and also shows interesting visual art.
The palace has an impressive architecture: Neo-classical, Art Decor & Art-Nouveau. Above the majestic front and a glance into the gorgeous entrance hall.
You can see there huge murals created by famous Mexican artists. Above "Catarsis" ( 1934 ) by Jose Clemente Orozco.
Above "El hombre controlador del universo (Man at the Crossroads)" (1934) by Diego Rivera, celebrating the rise of communism (you can see Lenin, Marx & Trotsky).
Above details from "Nueva democracia" & "Tormento de Cuauhtémoc y Apoteosis de Cuauhtémoc" both by David Alfaro Siqueiros.
Above "Liberación o La humanidad se libera de la miseria" (1941) by Jorge González Camarena.
As we visited the place they showed an amazing Kandinsky exhibition (see my post driveby ).
In another exhibition they displayed paintings by the Mexican artist Ricardo Martinez: "Nino cantando" (1954); "Desnudo" (1998); "Amantes" (2001); "Trabajo en roca" (1957); "Sin titulo (pareja)" (2005) & "Mujer con nino" (2006).
