Description: | A visionary painter best known for his murals, Diego Rivera explored Paris, Spain, San Francisco, New York, Moscow and his native Mexico, and counted Picasso, Cocteau, Trotsky and Rockefeller among his coterie of friends and enemies. Known for his grand public murals, Diego Rivera (1886-1957) is one of Mexico''s most revered artists. His paintings are marked by a unique fusion of European sophistication, revolutionary political turmoil, and the heritage and personality of his native country. Based on extensive interviews with the artist, his four wives (including Frida Kahlo), and his friends, colleagues, and opponents, The Fabulous Life of Diego Rivera captures Rivera''s complex personality—-sometimes delightful, frequently infuriating and always fascinating—-as well as his development into one of the twentieth century''s greatest artist. |
