# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Indigenismo: Painting people as an ideal seen from outside takes their self representation away, and applying pre-Columbian pattern as decoration to an otherwise European image is the very appropriation the movement formed against.
# - Mexican Muralism: Borrowing crowds and raised fists without deciding whose history is told and for whom yields a large decorative wall with no argument.
