David Alfaro Siqueiros, born José de Jesús Alfaro Siqueiros in 1896 – though later research pinpointed his birthplace as Chihuahua City rather than Camargo – was more than just a painter; he was a force of nature, an embodiment of the tumultuous spirit of post-revolutionary Mexico. The years between 1919 and 1923 proved pivotal as Siqueiros embarked on an extended sojourn to Europe.
