Diego Rivera (1886-1957) is a loud presence on the art historical
stage. With devout political principles and a turbulent romantic
history, he was at once husband and paladin of Frida Kahlo,
advocate and adversary of Stalin's Soviet Union, and liberator and
traitor of Leon Trotsky. Vibrant, graphic, and often monumental,
Rivera's paintings carry the same live political and passionate
charge as his personal biography. Fusing European influences such
as Cubism with a socialist ideology and an exaltation of Mexico's
indigenous and popular heritage, he created a new iconography for
art history and for his country. He became one of the most
important figures in the Mexican mural movement and won
international acclaim for his public wall paintings, in which he
presented a utopian yet accessible vision of a post-revolutionary
Mexico. In 1931, Rivera was the subject of MoMA's second ever
monographic exhibition. This book explores the unique blend of
influence and ideology which secure Rivera's place as both a unique
and a universal painter, bound to the particular turbulent
experience of early 20th century Mexico, and yet preoccupied with
subjects such as revolution and class inequity which continue to
speak to us today. About the series Born back in 1985, the Basic
Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art book collection
ever published. Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art series features: a
detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the
artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a
concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory
captions
