David Alfaro Siqueiros (1896‑1974). Born in Mexico. During his scholarship, he participates in the students' strike of 1911, then takes part in the Mexican Revolution, in the armed forces. He travels in Europe during the years 1920‑1921, returns to Mexico in 1922. He becomes member of the Mexican communist party. In 1927‑1928 he stays in Moscow. In 1930‑1931 he's imprisoned because of his activities in the manifestations of May First. In the beginning of the decade of the thirties he goes to exile in South America and USA. Between 1937 and 1939 he participates in the Spanish civil war against the forces of Franco. After his return to Mexico, in 1940, the government accuses him of having participated in a tentative attack against Leon Trotsky, and once again leaves the country. He travels in Bolivia, Cuba, then goes back to Mexico in 1944. In 1960 he's arrested because of his opposition against the political regime and stays four years in prison. |
