Yes, Rivera took Trotsky under his wing whilst he was in exile. Trotsky hung out with quite a lot of surrealist artists in Mexico at the time.
Nice, I'm not sure if this is true or not, did Diego Rivera really keep Trotsky at his house? I watched Frida (amazing movie!) and it showed Trotsky in exile with her (and diego).
he was surrealist artist, but also a communist too. He got into trouble sometimes for painting murals with Lenin on them, or anti-capitalist murals and things like that. Breton pretty much founded the art movement surrealism. He wrote quite extensively on art theory. IIRC, he actually wrote a book about freedom of expression with Leon Trotsky as well, I think.
OMG!! I'm so diggin that pic! better than creeper trans lenin... sorry, remind me, who's Andre Breton?
I changed it to a red star briefly, but I've just found a really cool picture of Trotsky hanging out with Diego Rivera and Andre Breton, whilst in exile, in Mexico.

I'm ok thanks comrade. The background is an Islamic textile thing, funky isn't it? And yes, that's some USSR-style meat. Equality has never been so tasty. How's things with you?
