 Ella Goldberg Wolfe, 103, Communist Turned Reaganite, Dies
Wolfe's life was lived in three centuries, but it is emblematic of the searing ideological debates surrounding the rise of Communism, the holy war of the 20th century.

Wolfe may have been reacting to more than the sting of sexism, for some of her correspondence with Lovestone suggested she had deeper feelings than friendship toward this charismatic figure.
Wolfe took it upon herself to lend a common touch to both Lovestone’s and her husband’s writings, which she often thought assumed too much political and historical knowledge on the part of readers.
Wolfe seemed proudest of her teaching years—Spanish literature at Columbia, Hunter College and New York City public schools and English to foreign students at the city’s Rand School of Social Science.

 Max Shachtman: Four Portraits of Stalinism III (1950)
It is to be feared that all of Wolfe’s studies have brought him to the conclusion that the “tragic problem” of the Russian Revolution is to be traced to the fact that it took place.
First, Wolfe is familiar with the writings of Rosa Luxemburg, whom he calls the “outstanding advocate of revolutionary policy and the outstanding defender of democracy within the labor movement.” Her posthumous work of criticism of the Bolsheviks dwelled particularly on their land policy.
Wolfe’s pious phrase about “mutual and equal partnership” between workers and peasants was as alien to Lenin as it is the glib phrase of foggyheads and demagogues.

This drawing, Illustration for ‘La Única’ was made by Rivera at the request of his tempestuous second wife, Guadalupe (Lupe) Marín, for the cover of a work of fiction she composed that was published in 1938.
The story contained many autobiographical details of her relationship with Diego for whom she was, according to Rivera’s biographer Bertram Wolfe, “model and mistress, source of aesthetic and human satisfaction.” Lupe Marín was left by Rivera with two small children in 1927 when their marriage broke up and he went to Russia.
She soon married the young poet, Jorge Cuesta, because “in the midst of all these people who have treated me most vilely, he is the only one from whom I have had kindness.” The scene portrayed here is of Lupe Marín on the right, merged with Cuesta’s first wife, Natalia, on the left.

“In the end,” asserts Wolfe, the Russian Revolution simply provided “the greatest dynamic power of expansion that Russia had ever known.” Any historian who tried to explain the Great French Revolution as a phase of “French expansionism” would be laughed out of court.
In Wolfe’s eyes, Lenin was “by his convictions” a “democrat” with occasional leanings toward humanitarianism and other “Western” virtues.
But where before, posing as a Marxist, Wolfe slandered Trotsky and Trotskyism, today, as an anti-Marxist, he slanders both Lenin and Trotsky, the whole of Bolshevism, the whole of the Russian Revolution and the early history of the Soviet Union.

The iconography and content of Rivera's mural, The Creation, located in the Mexico City, Escuela Nacional Preparatoria, Anfiteatro Bol¡var is an example of what Bertram Wolfe called Rivera's "Aztec approach to communism."(Wolfe, pg 149) In overall appearance, this mural at first resembles the work of a renaissance artist depicting a religious scene.
Unlike a renaissance religious work, Rivera's Creation does not contain a divine image or a religious figure-- God is conspicuous by His absence.

According to Rivera's biographer, Bertram Wolfe, who spent most of 1936 in Mexico and was in daily contact with the couple, Kahlo and Rivera were closer than ever that year, following a period of estrangement during which Rivera had an affair with Kahlo's younger sister Cristina.

 Tapping Our Energy Resources - The World & I Online Magazine
In this month's opening article, Bertram Wolfe argues that the Bush administration's energy plan falls short of addressing the long-term implications of such issues as rising energy demand, declining fossil fuel reserves, and possible global warming from carbon dioxide emissions.
To help meet the world's energy needs over the long run, Wolfe advocates a massive buildup of nuclear power facilities, including completion of the breeder reactor.
Our second piece, in the March issue, will explain how most of our new electrical energy demands could be met economically and efficiently by distributed power generation--that is, by setting up relatively small generators near our homes.

Then he sketches the Russian revolutionary movement, that eerie compound of fantasy, frustration and fulfillment, with the dedicated and indomitable figure of Lenin moving to the foreground and finally dominating the whole picture.

Though they would stay together for twelve years, Beloff told Wolfe, "His painting was all he ever lived for, and though he loved me for a few years and then other women, his painting was all he ever truly and deeply loved."
Wrote Wolfe, "His eye and hand taught outsiders and Mexicans alike to see a Mexico which until then escaped their vision." It is a Mexico that continues to inspire today.

 AmericanHeritage.com / WHO WAS THIS MAN-and why did he paint such terrible things about us?
It was not a cheery picture, especially, as Rivera’s friend and biographer Bertram Wolfe recalled, because “this was the beginning of the third and worst year of the great depression and Americans were very touchy about it.
Despite the color and energy of Rivera’s American work, as Bertram Wolfe has written, “the entire fruit” of Rivera’s “invasions of the United States … added little to his enduring work as a painter.” Rivera’s best work already lay behind him when he came to the U.S. in 1931.
His family opposed his wish to be cremated, insisting on a religious burial, but at the huge public funeral that preceded entombment in Mexico’s Rotunda of Illustrious Sons, Communist marchers stole the limelight, holding red banners in front of the casket while pictures were taken.

A friend of Diego's since the 1920s, when both were members of the Communist Party, and later —after his disenchantment—a brilliant writer on Communism (Three Who Made a Revolution), Bertram Wolfe in this biography has tried to untangle fact from fantasy.
