"We proclaim that this being the moment of social transition .. the makers of beauty must invest their greatest efforts in the aim of materialising an art valuable to the people, and our supreme objective in art, which is today an expression of [mere] individual pleasure, is to create beauty for all, beauty that enlightens, and stirs to struggle"
Social, Political & Aesthetic Declaration from the Syndicate of Technical Workers, Painters & Sculptors Mexico City 1922
