#NowReading : Anti-fascist mural by US painter Philip Guston restored in Mexico after 90 years https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/05/04/lzij-m04.html

"The newly restored 1,000-square-foot mural, unveiled in January 2025, now looks much as it did when it was completed in 1934. A kaleidoscopic depiction of the struggle against repression throughout history–from the persecution of Jesus in Biblical times, through the Inquisition of the 15th century up to the rise of Nazism and the Ku Klux Klan in the 20th–it abounds with tumbling bodies, instruments of torture and symbols of oppression, including crucifixes, swastikas, nude bound figures and hooded tormentors."

"After nearly a century, Philip Guston’s monumental mural, The Struggle Against Terrorism, has been meticulously restored and will be unveiled to the public on January 31, 2025, at the Regional Museum of Michoacán. Philip Guston created the mural in collaboration with artist Reuben Kadish; the artwork is a striking visual condemnation of fascism, intolerance, and violence, painted in vivid colours across a 40-foot-high wall."

these words, from Saul Bellow’s letters, 1974, also feel like they could have been written by his fellow Canadian born Jew, Philip Guston.

“So I know how to transform common matter… I long for others to do it. I thirst for it.”

or as Bruce said:

“I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk”
