content: Writings by Stein, Siqueiros and others are in English and Spanish and include audiovisual and digital materials. The materials concern Siqueiros' view of the development of public art in Mexico and the relation between Mexican muralism and the Mexican Revolution. There are speeches by Siqueiros given to the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes in Mexico and the Central University of Caracus (Venezuela). Writings by Siqueiros largely concern his position on "his assault of the house of Leon Trotsky" and mass mailing letters regarding his relase from prison in 1964. Found are Stein's notes, four notebooks (with occasional drawings), two journals, jottings, and "final drafts" relating to Siqueiros.
