About This Item
Covici-Friede, 1934-01-01. Hardcover. Good. 0x0x0. Bound in publisher's cloth. Hardcover. No dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Soiling/staining to edges. A couple marks to end pages. <br> In 1933, the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera painted a 21-panel mural titled Portraits of America. Created for New York City's New Workers School, the mural focused on issues of racial inequality and depicted the antislavery figures Frederick Douglass and John Brown, as well as shackled slaves - seen here in panel five of the mural. Rivera believed art was a weapon in the class struggle and frequently produced murals about revolution.
