Man, Controller of the UniverseDiego Rivera

This mural (1934), a replica of Rivera’s censored Rockefeller Center fresco, places a worker at the symbolic axis of modernity. He guides cosmic, scientific, and political forces—flanked by socialism on the left and capitalism on the right. Lenin’s presence affirms Rivera’s Marxist ideals, asserting art’s power to envision revolutionary futures.
