When she arrived in Bellingham, she had to build up her courage with large amounts of alcohol and cocaine.įinally fortified, Veronica lured a woman into driving her to a motel and coming into the room for a drink. Once Veronica got into this project, it was a bit more intimidating than it seemed in the planning. Kenny packed Veronica off to Washington with a fresh load of his semen in a plastic glove. Kenny was a nonsecretor, which meant in the days before DNA testing, that his blood type could not be determined from his semen. It was one hell of a favor to ask, but Veronica agreed immediately. Maybe even plant semen on the murdered girl. If she could just go to Bellingham and strangle a girl to make it look like the same man who killed Karen Mandic and Diane Wilder. He made a startling proposal - one that could, if successful, grant him the freedom to spend his life with her. Kenny saw opportunity in this relationship. Veronica fell in love with Kenny immediately. She wanted desperately to talk to him to understand better the mind of a murderer.

She was supposedly writing a play called The Mutilated Cutter about a woman serial killer. Today murals depict a variety of themes ranging from abstract art and that of Latino heritage, especially in Los Angeles.As bizarre as Kenny's state of mind was, it did not compare with that of his creative girlfriend, Veronica Compton. Having collected a few of El Machete’s periodicals, we will preserve these as part of an Art Movement in Mexico which gave rise to muralism, which carries on in America as part of Mexican American Culture. These documents are now part of Museum Americana’s collection.

They launched El Machete, a periodical for the people of the party which became outlawed and in 1925 remaining illegal until 1935. The three historical artists which were known to inform the people and unite under the Mexican Communist Party at the time, were Siqueiros, Rivera, and Orozco.

The artists of the revolution, through art programs took on understudies and traveled to America. Artists such as Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Jose Clemente Orozco and others produced art through murals commissioned by the their government, which would convey information to the people who were illiterate in the country, which were many. It was during this period the art of muralism flourished in Mexico, although it can be traced as far back as the Olmec Civilization. I read of the US support of Alvaro Obregon circa 1923-24 and aided him with arms and 17 US warplanes which were dispatched to bomb the uprising of rebels in Jalisco from a faction opposed to Obregon’s Bucareli Treaty with the US. Learning this part of Mexico’s history compelled me to research more on the topic. Corruption was at its worse, and the Labor Unions united in favor of a suitable President after the assassination of previous presidents. It was clear Mexico was a nation of strife between their people and the politicians in office. I was drawn to a few pieces of memorabilia from the Mexican Revolution, circa 1930’s to 1950’s. Recently, while, going through Veronica Compton Wallace’s art collection, it helped me understand more about her father, Mexican American Muralist Armando Campero.
