Summary

In 1936 David Alfaro Siqueiros painted "El Nacimiento del Fascismo" (Birth of Fascism), in the experimental workshop he established in New York, and where he worked with non-traditional materials and supports, mostly used for the creation of political propaganda. The Birth of Fascism (1936), a key element in Siqueiros' ideological representation and creative experiments, led him to apply a method of absorption of two or more colors whose effects he called "controlled accidents". This is the first work in which he used pyroxylin applied with an airgun, a technique which became a distinctive style of his production. The present edition is the outcome of a collaboration research analysis between the Museum of Modern Art of New York and IIE-UNAM to establish the dates and materials of the different modifications (below layers of painting) that Siqueiros did in to his painting the following 10 years.
