«Dear Franklin: […] The Mexican artists have produced the greatest national school of mural painting since the Italian Renaissance. Diego Rivera tells me that it was only possible because Obregón allowed artists to work at plumber's wages in order to express on the walls of the government buildings the social ideals of the Mexican Revolution.
The younger artists of America are conscious as they have never been of the social revolution that our country and civilization are going through; and they would be eager to express those ideals in a permanent art form if they were given the government's cooperation.» (p. 268)
