"Nacimiento de nuestra nacionalidad" de Rufino Tamayo

This mural locates inside the splendid Palacio de Bellas Artes and is part of the permanent collection, along with other ouvres by diverse muralists.

It is a canvas painted with vinylite; it represents the conquest and the birth of a new national identity abstractedly, like Tamayo did. Transcultural complexity may be understood throughout shapes and colors, which also represent violence and destruction, of the Conquest.
