Diego Rivera's "Man at the Crossroads"

In our readings this week about art and politics in Latin America, Diego Rivera's "Man at the Crossroads" mural caught my attention. In California in 1933, Rivera's patron, John D. Rockefeller, ordered his "Man at the Crossroads" mural to be destroyed because Rivera refused to remove the figure of Lenin from an allegory of progress in the modern age. Here is a link to a picture of the mural before it was destroyed.
