To be young and well-hung in New York: Diego Rivera at MOMA

I saw in the New York Times the news that five of Diego Rivera’s murals are being reunited for an exhibit at the New York Museum of Modern Art (MOMA). The murals were part of a show in 1931 that set attendance records. (Diego Rivera was 44 at the time).

edit to add: Don’t read too much into the segue (and the joke was not funny the first time, apropos of Matisse in Palo Alto), but this is a good enough place to post the link to a Shingo Francis video. I met Shingo recently at a life ceremony function of a mutual friend and we traded contact info.
