In 1931, Diego Rivera was the subject of The Museum of Modern Art's
second monographic exhibition, which set attendance records in its
five-week run. The Museum brought Rivera to New York six weeks
before the opening and provided him a studio space in the building.
There he produced five portable murals large blocks of frescoed
plaster, slaked lime and wood that feature bold images drawn from
Mexican subject matter and address themes of revolution and class
inequity. After the opening, to great publicity, Rivera added three
more murals, taking on New York subjects through monumental images
of the urban working class. Published in conjunction with an
exhibition that brings together key works from Rivera's 1931 show
and related material, this vividly illustrated catalogue casts the
artist as a highly cosmopolitan figure who moved between Russia,
Mexico and the United States and examines the intersection of
art-making and radical politics in the 1930s.
