18 x 12.5cm, 48pp. Card covers with pictorial dustjacket.

First edition of this tourist booklet sponsored by the Mexican Government and aimed at US visitors. After returning to the country after 14-years in the USA and elsewhere, Rivera was soon recognised as one of the most important of the "Mexican mural movement" - the Government realised the economic importance of the works and published this guide.

Sixteen works are reproduced in b/w and have extensive English texts.

All copies are scarce but this copy is uniquely signed in ink by Rivera vertically on the front dustjacket in ink and dated 1950. Sadly the card covers have come away from the staples although the break is clean - the rest of the book is very good + with only minor browning to the cover.

20 x 14.5cm, 32pp. Original wrappers. First edition of this vigorous attack upon certain 'so-called' poets of propaganda, including former Surrealist adherents. One of the scarcest of Peret's post-WWII titles. Composed during the poet's wartime exile in Mexico. One of 1,000 examples on bouffant, after 20 on velin (total edition). Typical browning to wrappers and pages, else a very good example.

27 x 20.7cm, 4pp. The extremely important political tract written by Trotsky but published by Andre Breton and Diego Rivera which considers the role of art as a revolutionary force and placing the late surrealist movement away from Stalin's corruption of the communist dream in the Soviet Union.

Previously folded and a very small tear at the fold where the creases meet, the paper colour is inconsistent between pages but else a VG+ example of a major theoretical tract from the surrealists.

46 x 33cm, black on cream broadside/wall poster/political tract. A significant political intervention by Breton, Kahlo and Rivera following the former's trip to Mexico.

The text is a repudiation of the reaction Breton found from the Stalinist forces of traditional communism - Breton had travelled in part to meet Trotsky (at the time a 'friend' of Rivera and Kahlo) so such a reaction might well have been expected. Signed in print by Bravo, Asunsulo, Barragan, Bracho, Chavez, Cuesta, Dalevuelta, Encisco, Gorostiza, Kahlo, Lazo, Magana, Marin, Merida, Montemayor, Montenegro, Moro, Nandino, Novo, Pellicer, Rivera, Ruiz, Tamayo, Toor, Velazquez, Villaurrutia, de la Vega, Zamora, Icaza and Villegas.

The paper is minorly browned and fragile - folded into four and with tears and edge damage (none of which affect the text see photograph) but this is an exceptionally rare and important document in any condition.
