Others did contribute to some of the governments that did some good things in Mexico.

But to me, it's about, again, the transferability of courage.

And muralism was also at its peak with Rivera, Orozco and Siqueiros, all which were gaining international acclaim.

And Mexico City began to attract a lot of international exiles from World War II from all over Europe, and it really became a hub for the avant-garde, and it saw movements such as Surrealism flourish with artists that we know very well today, like Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo, and Tina Modotti.

Yeah, I mean, so many iconic figures came out of this time period.

Andrea and I are particular Lenora Carrington fans.
