# Mexican Muralism carries the structure and Minjung Art appears as the accent.
# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images that take their structure from Mexican Muralism (style, 1920s–1940s) and their accent from Minjung Art (style, 1980s–early 1990s).

## What to make

Make the kind of thing Mexican Muralism exists for: school and civic walls where local history must be read by people passing, or exhibitions on labor or migration needing crowds of figures to show relationships. Choose one subject and hold it across all four.

## Structure comes from Mexican Muralism

- Monumental murals
- Crowds of figures
- Political narrative
- Public space

Composition: Set the subject high for an upward view, running the crowd as one wave. Type and lettering: Keep lettering inside banners and flags, painted with the same brush as the image.

## Accent comes from Minjung Art, used sparingly

- Heavy woodcut-like black line
- Workers, farmers, and crowds presented frontally
- Large public banners, murals, and hanging pictures
- Sign-like red, blue, or yellow within folk and comic structures

Let one material quality come from it: Use large woodcut, cloth, cheap paper, and black ink with one red accent for reproduction and display.

## Colour and feeling

Build the ground on #d7b77a, carry the structure in #9d3e2e and #35584b, and let a single accent come from #B6332A. These are read off real works, so a direction rather than a fixed palette.
Feeling to carry: exhilaration, rebellion, trust.

## What goes wrong

- Mexican Muralism: Borrowing crowds and raised fists without deciding whose history is told and for whom yields a large decorative wall with no argument.
- Minjung Art: Do not turn fists and crowds into generic political decoration. Name Korean democratization, labor, division, and collective circulation.

## Across the four

Keep the roles fixed in all four. Vary the framing, the scale and the arrangement so the set shows what this pairing can do rather than four versions of one picture.

## Constraints

- Do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work.
- Do not reproduce the composition of an existing work.
- Produce original compositions in the general period languages described above.
