Emblematic of Mexico’s Muralism movement of the early 20th century, “The Struggle Against Terrorism” by Jewish artist Philip Guston was met with backlash from the Catholic Church which deemed the mural’s blatantly antifascist imagery offensive. Within a decade of its unveiling, it was censored and obscured from view by a makeshift wall, resulting in deterioration from years of humidity and neglect.

Now, the mural has been restored through an extensive years-long collaboration between the Guston Foundation and Mexico’s Ministry of Culture and National Center for the Conservation of Artistic and Architectural Heritage. “When I first traveled to see the mural in 2006, its former power could only be imagined,” Musa Mayer, Guston’s daughter, said in a statement. “Its message is as relevant today as it was 90 years ago.”
