In Honor of Labor
Detroit Industry, South Wall, 1932-33 by Diego Rivera, The Detroit Institute of Arts.
Rivera was at the height of his popularity when he was commissioned to create two large murals representing the auto industry. As a follower of Trotsky, Rivera took the opportunity to celebrate all workers and their important contribution to American Industry.

The Rivera murals are all by themselves worth a trip to Detroit to see. I visit the DIA regularly, and I always see something more when I look at the murals.
