Summary:Art critic Alberto Híjar presents an important compilation of texts written around the artist David Alfaro Siqueiros; They are texts of diverse intervention and articulation: commemorative (one every January 6, the day of the painter's death); conferences; scripts for talks, teaching and opening of exhibitions; newspaper columns and even a biography (requested, written expressly for granted, paid for, but not published) and a letter to the muralist (to which he received no reply), in which he offers an analysis of the theoretical and political legacy of the remarkable muralist and offers a series of autobiographical texts in which he examines his forced disappearance and imprisonment in Lecumberri due to his militancy. The publication highlights the militancy and artistic experimentation of the muralist, whom he confronts in his two worlds: politics and art. "Named by David Alfaro Siqueiros in his will as the theoretical executor, Alberto Híjar was the founder of the Taller de Arte e Ideología and is now recognized not only as the painter's best intellectual collaborator, but also as a Marxist who was also the founder of groups and had a vast presence in the history of Mexico." (HKB Translation) --Verso cover.
