Diego Rivera's birthday.
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. "Faith is believing something you know ain't true" Twain.

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.
