Last week, he lifted successfully every weight he tried...

...city and country laborer, miner, country school teacher, market place, burial, festival, harvest, battle. Satirically bent, he has depicted a dinner table group including John Davison Rockefeller, John Pierpont Morgan and Henry Ford. Ticker tape winds among the wine glasses. There is a radio loud speaker, a steel safe door, a lamp shaped like the Statue of Liberty, an artificial female in a backless gown. But satire is a rarity with Artist Rivera.
