The Mural-ity of Rivera vs Rockefeller

Notas del episodio

Call it an accidental theme, since November typically is election month, but we're diving into another well-known clash between politics and art: the destruction of Diego Rivera's mural for the Rockefeller Center in NYC the year after it was finished, in 1934. The destruction centered on the sharp divide between each side's econo=political stances; Rivera was a strong socialist and Marxism advocate, whereas Rockefeller was very happy with the American capitalism that had served his family well. But there's more than meets the eye to this story, so be sure to tune in to our sixth episode!
