This second part extends from the illustrious words of DiegoRivera returned to Mexico in June 1921 until his death. After spending nearly fourteen years in Europe reached a Mexico in the middle stage of reconstruction, in which the revolutionary leaders who emerged triumphant arms had changed by the speeches and promises of change. Devourer of news from any part of the cultural and politicalspectrum, the artist not only brought with them their knowledge of the European avant-garde but the desire to put in writing theirviews on art, politics and the works of his contemporaries. Wroteabout himself, and much, but over all artistic expression to callyour attention. He wrote much as he painted, with the sameexpressive power with the same passion.

The Detroit Industry Murals

with Gladys March

A richly revealing document offering many telling insights into the mind and heart of a giant of 20th-century art. "Engrossing as a novel." — Chicago Sunday Tribune. 21 halftones.

Mostro sacro del muralismo messicano, Diego Rivera è stato in realtà tante cose: sodale di Picasso, donnaiolo impenitente e amante vorace, fervido comunista ben presto espulso dal Partito e sedicente rivoluzionario dell’arte. Rievocando alcuni episodi salienti di questa sua storia personale, raccolta e trascritta dalla giornalista Gladys March, si rivela anche un narratore incapace di tenere a freno l’esuberante fantasia. Nella sua prosa, così come nella sua pittura, scorrono una travolgente passione per la vita e un’umanità multiforme: prostitute e rivoluzionari, politici corrotti e mecenati capitalisti, ma soprattutto la gente della propria terra, per la quale nutrirà sempre un amore profondo. Dopo i primi passi come pittore cubista in Europa, il ritorno in patria è vissuto infatti da Rivera come una rivelazione: il Messico, con i suoi colori infuocati e la sua luce intensa, le moltitudini gioiose al mercato e alle fiestas, gli si presenta come una fonte di incontenibile splendore. A cui attingerà al momento di ritrarre sulle enormi pareti degli edifici pubblici messicani la coscienza politica di un popolo, attraverso scene di schiavitù, di lotta sociale e immagini della cultura precolombiana, plasmando i tratti di quel muralismo che diventerà di lì a poco un movimento pittorico internazionale. L’autoritratto che si dipana sotto i nostri occhi assume via via i contorni di una confessione a cuore aperto, in cui l’autore non risparmia nessuno, men che meno se stesso. La sua versione dei fatti trova un controcanto nelle voci delle donne della sua vita – Angelina Beloff, Lupe Marín, Frida Kahlo, sposata per ben due volte, ed Emma Hurtado – raccolte in appendice. Giunto all’ultima pagina, al lettore non resta che chiedersi dove stia la verità su questo artista che è stato innanzitutto uno straordinario affabulatore o, nelle parole di Élie Faure, un creatore di miti, se non addirittura un mitomane.

El analfabetismo es reconocido mundialmente como uno de los problemas más graves que un país puede experimentar. Diferentes estudios han mostrado cómo la falta de escolarización, junto con la falta de alfabetización, es decir, la capacidad de leer y escribir, influyen negativamente sobre el rendimiento cognitivo en tareas que miden aprendizaje y memoria, habilidades visoespaciales y visomotoras, funciones ejecutivas, lenguaje, entre otros. Por tanto, una adecuada evaluación neuropsicológica es necesaria para discernir entre el efecto que tiene la falta de escolarización y alfabetización en los procesos cognitivos de los ocasionados por el daño cerebral o las enfermedades neurodegenerativas. Por todo ello, Neuropsicología y analfabetismo pretende ofrecer al lector una visión general del analfabetismo, conocer el efecto de la escolaridad y el alfabetismo sobre el funcionamiento cerebral y cognitivo, ofrecer consejos y sugerencias para llevar a cabo una adecuada evaluación neuropsicológica con esta población y, finalmente, presentar los datos normativos para población analfabeta de América Latina de varias de principales pruebas neuropsicológicas que se utilizan actualmente.
