Description
Excerpt from The Mexican Mural Renaissance, 1920-1925
All this happened close to half a century ago. In writing about it now I am reminded of the sequel to The Three Musketeers, similarly separated in time, in which the once dashing friends make rheumy tries at repeating the capers of their youth. The painter grown gray need not feel as spent as did those aging roustabouts. As the muscles sag, one may still hope for a second freedom to blossom, as it did with Renoir, though his body was jackknifed in a wheelchair and the paintbrush had to be lashed to his gnarled, paralyzed fist.
