Gail: Thank you for the info. Makes me wish I was in Detroit.
This morning I was thinking of Diego and the murals he did at the Rockerfeller Center. The TV News was covering the murals art being done at the World Trade Center all  of it is 'SNACK' art. The days of having a mural say something is not what the corporations want any part of.Very sad.
Best
Ann

Subject: [SCIART] Diego Rivera drawings restored for March exhibit

The Detroit Institute of Arts upcoming exhibit "Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo in Detroit," which opens March 1, will include 8 "cartoons", preparatory drawings for his 27-panel mural "Detroit Industry". The drawings are 83 years old and were discovered rolled up in the basement.

See the Detroit Free Press article on the cartoons' restoration:

The murals are magnificent.
