Diego Rivera's "Flower Festival" (1925) showcases the artist's signature style of Mexican muralism. The painting depicts a group of indigenous women in traditional attire, centered on a figure bearing a large bundle of calla lilies. This emphasis on everyday life and the beauty of Mexican culture, along with bold colors and simplified forms, is characteristic of Rivera's work. The painting currently resides at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate audiences with its vibrancy and celebration of Mexican identity.
