Federico Cantú 1907-1989 Leda CYDT Collection Leda y el Cisne es un motivo de la mitología griega, según el cual Zeus descendió del Olimpo en forma de un cisne hacia Leda, mientras esta doncella caminaba junto al río Eurotas. De acuerdo con la mitología griega, más tarde Leda dio a luz a dos parejas de hijos: por un lado, a Helena y a Pólux, que serían hijos de Zeus y, por lo tanto, inmortales; y, por otra parte, a Clitemnestra y a Cástor, considerados hijos de Tíndaro, rey de Esparta, y en consecuencia, mortales. Según  la historia, Zeus tomó la forma de un cisne y violó o sedujo a Leda en la misma noche en que ella se había acostado con su esposo, el rey Tíndaro, de ahí que las dos parejas de hijos tuvieran distintos padres. En algunas versiones, ella puso dos huevos de los que nacieron los niños.

The Mexican Revolution (Spanish: Revolución mexicana), also known as the Mexican Civil War (Spanish: guerra civil mexicana), was a major armed struggle, lasting roughly from 1910 to 1920, that radically transformed Mexican culture and government.

STENDAHL GALLERIES Founded, 1911 The two-house compound where author April lives on an avenue in the Hollywood Hills has been home to her husband's family business, Stendahl Galleries, since 1940. For twenty years prior, Earl L. Stendahl provided the finest examples of Impressionist and Modern art to the elite of Los Angeles collectors from his renowned galleries on Wilshire Boulevard. Stendahl was lured to the Hollywood neighborhood by collector Walter Arensberg, who, with S tendahl's help, amassed what was called by an art historian in 1950 "the most discriminating single group of twentieth century paintings and sculpture in existence." Such was Stendahl's influence on the Southern California landscape, which began in 1911 and lasted well beyond his passing in 1966, when son Alfred Stendahl and son-in-law Joseph Dammann (already veteran dealers) carried on the business. Few remember that in 1939 Stendahl hosted one of only two non-museum exhibitions of Pab...
