That is a powerful image isn’t it. Is it Siqueros? Gregorio puts on a great show/ lecture, but it is mostly nostalgia. I don’t know if he would have anything to say about contemporary art politics, or admit what he really knows or thinks. That would be counter-business. He worships those “Revolutionaries” but he is a suit and profits big time by doing it. He is an A-l capitalist. At the end of his show he probably says, “let’s have dessert (CAKE?) and soak up some more beauty.” Maybe he should try re-enactments of Commie protests and throw one of his hundred thousand dollar paintings into a bonfire! And scream that he is doing it in the spirit of Freida and Diego because that is what they would want.
