Fleischman and wife Barbara lost no time in wading in, are now sopping up Mexican culture, have started buying Mexican art, and have struck up an acquaintance with Artist Rufino Tamayo. In his way, Collector Fleischman is proving to be almost as good propaganda as his collection. He will travel with it to nine other Latin American countries in the next 20 months...

...buying art for a projected modern museum, said Siqueiros, why not let artists pay their income taxes with their work instead of their money? When the Finance Minister okayed the proposal, Rivera was the first to barter a $3,600 painting for his tax bill. But anti-Communist Rufino Tamayo, whose work is selling like hot cakes, said haughtily: "I prefer to pay my taxes in cash. I have no paintings to spare...
