Oscar Niemeyer, one of the last communists, died leaving much more than his architectural curves, embellishing cities (as the Contemporary Art Museum in Niterói, the Copan Building in São Paulo, the French Communist Party Headquarters, in Paris, the Mondadori headquarters in Milan, among other postcards...), or "simply" being an entire one, in the case of Brasília. These concrete symbols have another implicit message, that life must be enjoyed, even if it is not fair.

This is exactly what he did during his almost 105 years in this world.
