Question: Anyone familiar with Rivera's Man at the Crossroads mural done for the Rockefellers!?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

It was commissioned by the Rockefellers for the Rockefeller centre, and depicted "new frontiers" in various ways!. The work was completed and paid for, and immediately hidden, before being destroyed Feb 9 1934, by a gang of workers with pickaxes!. The reason!? There was a small portrait of Lenin in the picture!. Didn't even look much like him, in my opinion!.!.!.
