• Ione Robinson to her mother, Mexico City, September 10, 1929 (from: A Wall to Paint on) (dieser beitrag wurde verfasst in: englisch)

  The storm has finally broken. Rivera has accepted the offer of Mr. Morrow and is going to paint the oppen corridors at the rear of the Palace of Cortez in Cuernavaca. This is the place where the conquistadores first crossed this section on their way to Mexico City, and the corridors open on to a terrific landscape of mountains and ravines. From what I hear through the Communists, it sounds as if Rivera would be thrown into the ravine himself. Joe [Freeman] presided at a meeting of the Communist Party the other night, at which a resolution was passed expelling Rivera from the Party because he has accepted money from an «imperialist capitalist». The idea seems to be that Riveera was the biggest trouble-maker in Mexican politics, and that Morrow had been sent to try to stop him from painting American capitalists all over walls. In order to stop this, Morrow offered him another wall, supposedly as an American gift to Mexico, and offered to pay him more money than he had ever seen at one time before. But there were even more important reasons than that, apparently, for expelling him. One was that the work in the National Palace is sponsored by a renegade government: that is, Portes Gil has shifted so far to the right since the first cartoons were drawn that he now represents something even worse than Mr. Morrow. And then there is the third stigma: that Rivera has accepted the directorship of the Belles [sic] Artes from this same renegade government, a government which is persecuting Communists.
