[Leon Trotsky's House and Grave, View of the fortress-like house of Trotsky]
Creators
unknown (Mexican builder)
Description
Leon Trotsky was invited by Diego Rivera to Mexico City in 1937. He was murdered in his home here in 1940. Trotsky's house in Coyoacán was preserved in much the same condition as it was on the day of the assassination and is now a museum run by a board which includes his grandson Esteban Volkov. The current director of the museum is Dr. Carlos Ramirez Sandoval under whose supervision the museum has improved considerably after years of neglect. Trotsky's grave is located on its grounds.

Marsden Hartley (American painter, 1877-1943)
Description
Part of Exhibit "Marsden Hartley's Maine," July 8-November 12, 2017. This trio of dashing young "blades" underscores Hartley's pattern of sanctifying his Maine subjects, presenting them as saintlike, complete with regionally appropriate attributes. One figure holds a mackerel, a fish commonly used as lobster bait, while another grasps a lobster, suggesting that one is trying to attract the other; a coded homoerotic content.

Marsden Hartley (American painter, 1877-1943)
Description
Part of Exhibit "Marsden Hartley's Maine," July 8-November 12, 2017, from a private collection (AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company). This sketch likely depicts the tiny harbor village of Corea, where Hartley lived and worked from 1940 to 1943. Hartley described it in a letter to a friend as "a wonderful fishing village, a real one, and so like my beloved Nova Scotia, dear old boys sitting in their fish house doorways, quantities of lobster-pots lying around, a post office, and grocery, and a fish-shop."
