"Diego Rivera considered the Detroit Industry Murals his finest paintings. Produced in 1932-33, they are the largest and most complex work of the Mexican muralist movement in America. Covering the four walls in an interior courtyard in the museum, they portray in detail the complex interplay of raw materials, manufacturing process, and human resources involved in the production and assembly of that emblem of modern culture, the automobile."--BOOK JACKET.
"This unusual book not only reproduces the murals in great detail for the first time (including a folding poster of the North and South walls) but also brings together documentary photographs of Rivera at work, historic photographs of the Ford Motor Company River Rouge plant made for the artist, extensive sketches and composition drawings, and the final full-scale cartoons made in preparing the walls for final painting."--BOOK JACKET.
