Trotsky receives lawyer Goldman and the Dewey Commission, 1937

On the veranda of the Casa Azul, Trotsky receives a group of visitors including his American lawyer Albert Goldman and several members of the international inquiry commission chaired by John Dewey; also present is Frida Kahlo, who together with her husband Diego Rivera had made Trotsky's asylum in Mexico possible. Goldman represented Trotsky in his effort to defend himself against the accusations of the Moscow show trials and helped prepare the commission hearings in April 1937. The visit marks one of the most publicly visible moments of Trotsky's Mexican exile, where politics, law and the art world around Kahlo and Rivera intersected.
