The picture "Muren" (The Wall), was painted by Ola Billgren (1940 – 2001) in 1973, the year of Pinochet's coup d'état in Chile.
Billgren was selftaught as painter, and already at 14 he was a fulltime artist. Moderna Museet in Malmö has an address at Ola Billgrens plass.

Great news. This is what an ICE agent looks like in a mugshot. Meet Gerardo Rodriguez, 45, of Temecula, courtesy of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. Arrested for "illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week." 🧵
