Rivera [Taschen]

Diego Rivera (1886–1957) is a prominent figure in art history, known for his monumental mural paintings and his fervent political beliefs. His unique and visionary renderings of a modern Mexico combine communist passion, pre-Columbian heritage, and the influences of European modernism.

Rivera's personal life was as dynamic as his art, with his marriage to Frida Kahlo, his involvement in Marxist activism, and his complicated relationship with figures such as Stalin and Trotsky. His paintings, vibrant and graphic, reflect the same political and passionate charge as his own biography.

Fusing European influences like Cubism with socialist ideology and a celebration of Mexico's indigenous and popular heritage, Rivera created a new iconography for art history and his country. He became a leading figure in the Mexican mural movement, with his public wall paintings presenting a utopian yet accessible vision of a post-revolutionary Mexico. In 1931, Rivera was the subject of MoMA's second-ever monographic exhibition.
