The Art

Debate at Diego Rivera's Mural in Detroit is as fresh today as it was decades ago. Tourists and students come to listen to docents and any who would form an opinion of the determined works and the angry looking management.

This masterpiece was painted depicting labor at the Ford factories. Lots of symbolism and opinion with management vs labor. It was painted under duress. Diego had a friendliness with Communism which many did in the 1930's during the world's depression. It was also painted while Frida Kahlo was in Mexico suffering a miscarriage. Look for the niche with the baby in blossoms above a doorway.
