Hidden and predestined to be in the dark from its origin the mural "Ejercicioplástico" (Plastic study, 1933) by noted Mexican muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros, is one of Latin America's masterworks. Its story has the ingredients of a soap-opera: clandestinelove affairs, revolutionary ideals, financial and political interests, and a legal battle that stilltoday keeps us in suspense. The attractive side of this suspense novel has sometimesovershadowed the analysis of the aesthetic values of the work. Instead of just decorating abasement of a Buenos Aires "quinta", through his mural Siqueiros concentrated in the visualproblems and narrowed the relationship between art and technology. He fabricated an authenticmachine of perception, years before kinetic, installation and site specific art were firstdeveloped; he created an artwork with scarce antecedents in art history or any other derivation and whose aesthetic values are just coming out to light. Privileged witness to the history of themural, journalist and art critic Martínez Quijano presents a committed and rigorous analysis of an art masterpiece considered a rarity in the history of the muralism and international avant-garde.
