David Alfaro Siqueiros’ color lithograph Huyendo del Terror (circa 1969) captures the raw force of human struggle in the face of violence and oppression. The composition conveys movement and urgency: a woman flees in anguish, her figure twisted in expressions of fear and desperation. A leading voice of Mexican muralism, Siqueiros infused his art with social and political intensity, using bold gestures and dramatic tonal contrasts to embody collective suffering.

Beyond its emotional power, Huyendo del Terror reflects Siqueiros’ lifelong commitment to art as a voice for justice. Blending realism and modernist experimentation, he transformed personal anguish into a universal symbol of displacement and resilience. This expressive print stands as one of his most moving examples of 20th-century Mexican art’s engagement with human struggle and hope.
