...took his first brash step into politics as a member of a nationalistic youth group specializing in street brawls. Che finished high school with distinction, and then, moved by the suffering of his father's mother* as she lay dying of cancer, decided to become a doctor. At 19 he entered the University of Buenos Aires Medical School...
...road led first to Bolivia, then in the throes of a historic revolution that dispossessed the rich of land and tin mines. In a filthy brown jacket, stained necktie and scuffed shoes, Che became a member of a group of coffeehouse leftists.

Even their rips and gougings are carefully planned, with the artist, rather than the painting, at the controls. Yet the stern discipline deprives the paintings of warmth, and in the end, they seem little more than exercises repeated over and over again. For so sunny and passionate a land, Spain has produced a paradox: a comparatively youthful generation of artists whose experiments add up to monotony. The obsessive colors they all use-black and white, dull greys, somber browns...
