Dateline Detroit: Chaz and Diego























Chaz gets to see Diego Rivera's 'Detroit Industry' murals (1932) Detroit Institute of Arts.  An Edsel Ford legacy . . .

"Notes the Washington Post, "Rivera was hired by the Ford Motor Co., and his series of politically charged fresco panels was called 'Detroit Industry.' Ultimately, Edsel Ford allowed that it was acceptable for an artist to displease his patron; the work is now recognized as one of Rivera’s masterpieces." "
