| description | The text analyzes the mural created in the Acapulco prison by the Surrealist painter Sofía Bassi, with the supportive collaboration of her colleagues from La Ruptura movement: Alberto Gironella, José Luis Cuevas, Rafael Coronel, and Francisco Corzas. The paper begins with a summary of the life of the artist and of her tragic fate following the murder of her son-in-law, for which she took responsibility, always claiming it was an accident. It then offers a detailed iconographic analysis of each of the mural's sections, paying particular attention to their individual and shared themes, the use of intertextual artistic references, and the inclusion of portraits and self-portraits, especially of Bassi herself and her daughter Claire. Special attention is given to the section entitled La Calumnia, created by Bassi, contextualizing the work with the artist´s pictorial and philosophical sources, and above all highlighting her extraordinary defense of her daughter throughout the process. Finally, the text reflects on art as a means of overcoming pain, protesting, and social resistance, as well as on the importance of the collective mural in the history of Mexican art, both for its powerful denunciation of the abuses of power and the fragility of justice in 1960s Mexico, and for its defense of human rights in general, and of women's rights in particular. |

En el texto se analiza el mural creado en la cárcel de Acapulco por la pintora Surrealista Sofía Bassi, con la colaboración solidaria de sus colegas del movimiento La Ruptura: Alberto Gironella, José Luis Cuevas, Rafael Coronel y Francisco Corzas. El trabajo comienza con un breve recuento de la vida de la artista y su trágico desenlace a partir del asesinato de su yerno del que se auto-culpó, alegando siempre que fue un accidente involuntario. Posteriormente se realiza un minucioso análisis iconográfico de cada una de sus secciones, prestando particular atención a sus temáticas particulares y comunes, así como a la utilización de referencias artísticas intertextuales, y a la incorporación de retratos y autorretratos, especialmente de la misma Bassi y de su hija Claire. En el texto se presta especial atención a la sección titulada La Calumnia, creada por Bassi, contextualizando la obra a partir de fuentes pictóricas y filosóficas, y principalmente de su extraordinaria defensa de su hija, durante todo el proceso. Finalmente se reflexiona sobre el arte como forma de superación del dolor, denuncia y resistencia colectiva, así como sobre la importancia del mural colectivo en la historia del arte mexicano tanto por su potente denuncia en contra de los abusos de poder y de la fragilidad de la justicia en México de los años sesenta, así como por su defensa de los derechos humanos en general, y de las mujeres en particular.
