Arnold Belkin was a Canadian Mexican painter credited for continuing the Mexican muralism tradition at a time when many Mexican painters were shifting away from it. Born and raised in western Canada, he trained as an artist there but was not drawn to traditional Canadian art. Instead he was inspired by images of Diego Riveras work in a magazine to move to Mexico when he was only eighteen. He studied further in Mexico, focusing his education and his career mostly on murals, creating a type of work he called a portable mural as a way to adapt it to new architectural style. He also had a successful career creating canvas works as well with several notable series of paintings. Vintage and Modern Mexican Graphic Art Prints and Collectibles.
