[@TravelsWithLobo]

My favorite "Detroit" vlog ...hope you enjoy it.

[@slclubec]

Thank you. Great work to accompany the poetry of Philip Levine, also a Detroit native. "They Feed They Lion" is one of his best known poems.

Where did Rivera stay during this time? I haven’t found any information as to where that might have been.

Great video love it!

Thanks for viewing and your comments. The video didn't get much of a response but it is one of my favorite videos and a great story to boot.

Maravilloso video, gracias por compartir, excelente trabajo realizado por el Muralista Mexicano Diego Rivera, considerado como uno de los mejores en su género al igual que lo fueron David Alfaro Siqueiros, José Clemente Orozco. Quienes fueron nombrados el grupo de los tres, por ser considerados los 3 mejores exponentes del muralismo en México.

[@TravelsWithLobo]

Gracias Bianca por tus amables palabras. Este video sobre Diego Rivera es mi favorito debido a lo que hizo no solo en México sino también aquí en Detroit. La primera vez que vi este mural me impresionó su belleza y magnificencia. Es probablemente la cosa más magnífica de Detroit. Usted ha aumentado mi conocimiento limitado sobre el arte mexicano al presentarme a - el grupo de los tres - nunca he oído hablar de los otros dos ... así que es hora de investigar un poco y tal vez encontrar nuevos la próxima vez que vaya a Méjico. Gracias

@@TravelsWithLobo Muchas gracias a usted por tomar tiempo para leer mi comentario y por hacer mención de mi persona, como Mexicana me siento muy orgullosa de que se conozca y reconozca el talento de personas como Diego Rivera. Muchas gracias. (Podría también ser de su interés el trabajo de Rufino Tamayo)

5:32 In this part of the mural is Henry Ford. Left side, middle, man in white hat, black suit and glasses is Henry Ford. This info was told to me when I visited the DIA.

[@TravelsWithLobo]

ah yes - interesting - so that is Henry Ford - makes sense...the only person not bent down and working - thanks for the info.

[@maunster3414]

In addition to the one in the panel that you mentioned, of course.

[@NickKoshy]

It's actually plant manager Mead Bricker. He's infamous for his treatment of the workers. He'd carry a gun to break up striking workers and would speed the lines without warning. Rivera made the manager teaching the workers in one of the scenes on the predella look like Henry Ford though he denies it (big controversy).

[@TravelsWithLobo]

@@NickKoshy Thanks for the new insights on this matter.
