Topic: diego rivera
all time
regularly massive
painter
of the
material dialectic
i can't see these
days
a muralist (except spray painters)
that attack the screwed up state of
our lives and
oppression
the following is a fresco
an "old master" style painting
that takes months to create
painted on the wall of the rockefeller building
lobby
but horrifically chipped
down and destroyed
due to rivera's depiction of lenin
it was commissioned to
represent the "crossroads"
of society in 1933.....
