Diego
Rivera Biography
DIEGO RIVERA (1886-l957),
muralist painter, was one of the greatest artists in the XXth century.
Born in Guanajuato Mexico, in 1892 he moved to Mexico City with his
family. He studied in the San Carlos Academy and in the carving workshop
of artist José Guadalupe Posada, whose influence was decisive. Later
in Paris, he received the influence of post-modernism and cubism,
the mediums in which he expressed himself with ease. Diego Rivera
with the use of classicist, simplified and colorful painting recovered
the pre-columbian past catching the most significant moments in mexican
history: the earth, the farmer, the laborer, the custumes and popular
characters. Diego Rivera 's legacy to modern mexican art was decisive
in murals and canvas; he was a revolutionary painter looking to take
art to the big public, to streets and buildings, managing a precise,
direct, and realist style, full of social content.
