While the Mexican art scene remained and still remains active, most of the art that has followed in the time since the muralists, from the 1950's and 1960's to today, has not been met with comparable visibility or reception. Great artists in the years following, such as painter Jose Luis Cuevas and sculptor Juan Soriano, while well-known, did not attain the prominence the muralists and have been historically overshadowed by them. This overshadowing of contemporary Mexican art continues as Mexican art is consistently underrepresented in the international market. Muralists like Rivera, Orozco, and Siqueiros are among the only instantly recognizable examples of Mexican artists and art in the world. 
Why are the muralists the only widely recognized examples of Mexican art? Who are some of the contemporary Mexican artists active today and what is the current art scene like? In the next sections I will explore and try to answer these questions.
