"Mexican art was at a dead end. Now we are free," he said, and the other interioristas enthusiastically agree. Canadian-born Arnold Belkin. 32, one of the co-authors of the manifesto, says that Rivera, chiefly significant as a social-protest painter, had the byproduct effect of leading Mexican art "up a blind alley -two generations of picturesque Indians making tortillas or setting out candles for the Night of the Dead."
