Mural Painter, Bolivian 1914-1975
Muralism, taking a similar form to the Mexican expressionism of the 1920's, became very popular, bringing art to public buildings by depicting the class struggle. Miguel Alandia Pantoja is known for his palace mural that was destroyed by the military government of Bolivia in 1965.
