Russian RevolutionDiego Rivera

This portable fresco (1933), made in New York for a Trotskyist group, forms part of Rivera’s cycle Man, Controller of the Universe. Lenin watches Trotsky lead a Red Army parade of workers and peasants, while the foreground figures express global proletarian unity. The scene reflects Rivera’s commitment to international revolution and Trotsky’s ideals as a call for worldwide socialist solidarity.
