A South American hotel once displayed a mural by a well known artist that depicted an historian holding an open book which displayed a phrase that upset the community. This ruckus prevented the hotel from being blessed from the Archbishop. Who was the artist and what were the troublesome words painted on that page?

This might be Diego Rivera's mural in the Hotel del Prado in Mexico City, in which he included the words, "God Does Not Exist": http://www.geocities.com/kuraish/rivera/enbiografia.htm Jul 12 05, 6:41 PM

Yay Frankie! Yes, Diego Riviera's mural 'Sunday in the Alamada' showed historian Ignacio Ramirez holding that book. When Archbishop Martinez refused to bless the hotel, an anonymous priest quietly stepped in to do the deed. Jul 12 05, 7:09 PM

An artist, famous for his woodcut of a certain Nepalese mammal, once depicted an 'evil' biblical figure. Her title is considered an allegory of an Italian city, but it has also been suggested that it could be referred to any major tyrannical 'power' du jour. What is it, who was the artist, and who did Dante once compare her to? Which artist painted an elephant carrying Gandhiji? The White House has been known to issue them. An artist more well known for his current location than his works utilizes them for paint, and one interesting tidbit about them is their ability to change colour to adapt to seasonal conditions. What are they, who is the artist, and how specifically do they connect to once promoting cancer? This once-controversial painting, by an artist who courted controversy throughout his career, is thought by many to have a title well-suited to its subject. Rejected by squeamish jurors as an exhibition entry, it was eventually sold for only $200 to an appropriate academic institution. Today, it is considered one of the great works of American art. What is it, and can you provide an illustration?
