When You Blend Into the Art
This magnificent mural was commissioned by the Rockefeller Corp in 1932 for their then new development now known as Rockefeller Center. Diego Rivera created this mural for the ground floor of one of their buildings. However as the mural grew, Rivera began to change it incorporating political statements, which the Rockefeller Corp did not like. Rivera refused to change it so once it was done the decision makers at the corporation had it painted over! This piece is a replica of what Rivera re-created and where it now resides—in the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City.
