Union De Las Americas by Jesus Guerro Galvan
Jesus Guerrero Galvan (1910-1973), was a member of the Mexican Muralist Movement of the early 20th century. He was an artist-in-residence at UNM from 1942-1943. This mural represents the meeting of North and South America under the influence of Liberty, who hovers above the scene. The technique is buon fresco, in which the artist creates an image by applying water-based paint on wet plaster. When the water evaporates, the painting is a permanent feature of the wall.
