Description: Diego Rivera : Paradise Lost at Rockefeller CenterIrene Herner de Larrea1987Diego Rivera, commissioned by Nelson A. Rockefeller in 1933 to paint a huge fresco in the RCA building of the new and ultramodern Rockefeller Center, decides to paint, right in the heart of the American empire, his plastic version of communist paradise with the figure of Lenin in the role of unifier and guide. When the Maecenas became aware of this, Diego Rivera is dismissed, and the incomplete work of art is covered under a blank canvas and, nine months later during the dark of night, and with no forewarning, was reduced to dust. -- from blurb on inside of front wrap The censorship of this provocative artwork was covered extensively by the media at the time. This book places the mural in the context of its time and documents the resulting controversy. Originally published in Spanish, this edition is in English and Spanish.
