I wish I could see the Rivera show that's at MoMA right now. (He said wistfully.)

Another reason you're my favorite poster, Morley.

I love Diego Rivera's work. "Flower Vendor" hangs in the Norton Simon not too far from me. I've been there more than a few times to admire it.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Meh, Frank Frazetta was infinitely better.

I think she was really a man.

Here you go, Shades. In this one, she doesn't look so much like a man. (Hers are self portraits.)

Two different things, shades. Rivera was a great artist, Frazetta was a very talented illustrator.

I think Frida Kahlo often thought she was a man, too.

In that case, Frazetta's illustrations are infinitely better than Rivera's art.
