Alfonso Reyes, these friendships allowed him to approach new trends such as cubism and post-
impressionism, influences that are noted in his works, mainly in his use of color . Since he began to
paint his first mural -by invitation to a campaign undertaken by José Vasconcelos, then secretary of
education- in 1922, he began to become an influence for the entire Mexican and Latin American

murals were canceled and deleted in the United States. In 1929 he married for the third time, with
