Today in Labor History March 2, 1974: Salvador Puig Antich was executed by garrote in Barcelona, Spain. He was a militant anarchist and Catalan independence fighter who fought against the Spanish state with the terrorist group Iberian Liberation Movement in the early 1970s. He was convicted of bank robbery and killing a police officer. His arrest and execution became a cause célèbre in Francoist Spain for Catalan autonomists, pro-independence supporters, and anarchists. He was also the last person executed by the fascist Franco regime. His execution inspired new artistic works by Catalan artists Joan Miró and Antoni Tàpies.

"Very excellent creative work, full of bright and bold colors, with line art that has meaning to that particular artist. Modern in concept and design! Fun to see - an outstanding work of Art! BRAVO! PERFECT!!"

This is a Joan Miro ('Cabeca', I think), currently on show at Serralves, Porto.

It returns me to the subject of M John Harrison, maps, self, and 'The Sunken Land Begins To Rise Again'.

A fragment of map - rising or falling? The rest of it subsumed under a tar-like coating, an almost desperate blotting out.

This, opposite one of his 'burnt' canvases, was a real thrill.
