David Sisqueiros. Selected to correspond to the images in Everett Gee Jackson/ San Diego Modern, 1920-1955, this display highlights similar works from the collection at the Georgia Museum of Art. Several of these artists, including Lucienne Bloch, Jean Charlot and Ben Shahn, worked with Diego Rivera on his mural projects. Other artists featured here are Thomas Hart Benton, Paul Cadmus, Fletcher Martin and Charles Sheeler, each - like Everett Gee Jackson - inspired by the aesthetics and philosophies of Rivera and the other Mexican muralists.
