Siqueiros

I am working on a piece about David Alfaro Siqueiros, discussing some of his techniques and several of his pieces. Of Siqueiros, Trotsky biographer slash historian Isaac Deutscher said, "[he was a] buccaneer whose art, revolution and gangsterism were inseparable."

Here is an article from the NY Times about the legal battle involving a Siqueiros mural presently in storage in Argentina - locked away by a court order, and quite possibly suffering irreparable damage. This is an article from 2001 so I will do more investigating as to the current situation...
