Avila Morning was painted by which Mexican muralist?

• A. Frida Kahlo
• B. Diego Rivera
• C. Jose Clemente Orozco
• D. David Siqueiros

Answer: (B)

Avila Morning fits Diego Rivera’s approach to public, narrative murals. Rivera helped lead the Mexican muralism movement, creating large-scale works meant to be legible and meaningful to everyday people. His murals often depict scenes from daily life, social relationships, and civic life in a clear, storytelling style that invites viewers to read the action across the wall. That orientation toward accessible, community-focused imagery makes him the best match for a painting titled Avila Morning, more so than Frida Kahlo, who centered on intimate self-portraits, or Orozco and Siqueiros, whose famous murals tend to be more dramatic and overtly political in tone.
