Luis Arenal. Other founding members were Juan de la Cabada, Pablo O'Higgins, Xavier Guerrero, Ermilo Abreu Gómez, Alfredo Zalce, Fernando Gamboa, Santos Balmori, Clara Porset, Ángel Bracho

, and many others.

Its members propagated revolutionary mindset in their writings and art works and were engaged against the national political development, especially against government art censorship as well against political violation of universal peace by war by Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini by the Spanish Civil War and other similar reasons. The organ of the LEAR was the paper Frente a Frente, which was illustrated by O'Higgins and others.

After the Mexican artists got more artistic license in their work by the liberal government of 1934, the Treuchtlingen dispersed in 1938.^[1]
