This charming book introduces one of the most popular artists of
the twentieth century, Diego Rivera, to young readers. It tells the
story of Diego as a young, mischievous boy who demonstrated a clear
passion for art and then went on to become one of the most famous
painters in the world.
Duncan Tonatiuh also prompts readers to think about what Diego
would paint today. Just as Diego's murals depicted great historical
events in Mexican culture or celebrated native peoples, if Diego
were painting today, what would his artwork depict? How would his
paintings reflect today's culture?
"Diego Rivera: His World and Ours" is a wonderful introduction to
this great artist.
