El retrato de Guadalupe Marín parece tres veces: en el personaje de la mujer a la izquieda baja; como alegoría del canto, sentada derecha a la izquerda con las manzanas hesperianas; como justicia, a la derecha en la parte superiora, con espada y escudo.

INVITATION

to the fiesta which the

Syndicate of Technical Workers, Painters and Sculptors Will Hold on Tuesday 20th of this Month in Honor of

DIEGO RIVERA

Beloved Comrade and Master of the Shop

On the occasion of completing the work of decoration the Auditorium of the National Preparatoria School, a work which resurrects monumental painting not only in Mexico, but in all the world, beginning thus in our country a new flowering which will be comparable to those of ancient times, and the great qualities of which — good craftmanship, wisdom in proportion and values, expressive clarity and emotional power (all within a purely organic Mexicanism free of unhealthy and fatal picturesqueness) — mark the work as unsurpassable, and lovers of the craft of painting can share the science and experience here accumulated.

[And in honor of]

LICENCIADO DON JOSÉ VASCONCELOS

and

DON VICENTE LOMBARDO TOLEDANO

intelligent initiators and generous protectors of this work and of all the noble effort made toward the development of plastic art in Mexico.

[And of]

LUIS ESCOBAR, XAVIER GUERRERO, CARLOS MÉRIDA, JEAN CHARLOT, AMADO DE LA CUEVA

expert assistants of the maestro Rivera.

All this to give thanks to the Lord who kept them from terrible and horrible fall from the scaffold in nearly a year of most painful labor at the height of about thirty feet. 12:30, at Mixcalco 12, Tresguerras Cooperative Shop of Painting and Sculpture. Five pesos without fail in the pocket.

Very important note: So that the honorees be not accused of sponging, they also will pay for their meal.
