Born in 1929, Bill Huebbe was largely inspired by the 1930s growing up. Globally this period can be best characterised by the conflict between the world’s predominant political philosophies - Marxist Socialism, Capitalist Democracy, and the Totalitarianism of both Communism and Fascism. n Europe, Surrealism continued to be the leading artistic trend; a kind of expression and school of thought that by this time had spread across the globe. In Mexico, artists like Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera incorporated a number of these philosophies into their radical political ideologies to develop a innovative kind of magic realism.
