A landmark publication focusing on both Rivera and Kahlo during a
critical year in each of their careers From April 1932 through
March 1933, Diego Rivera (1886-1957) and Frida Kahlo (1907-1954)
spent a dramatic and pivotal sojourn in Detroit. Against the
backdrop of the Great Depression and amid labor protests in the
city, Rivera created his Detroit Industry murals, one of the most
important and accomplished works of art made in the United States
in the 20th century, for the Detroit Institute of Arts. Kahlo,
meanwhile, developed her own artistic identity almost unnoticed,
emerging with an oeuvre of extraordinarily expressive work. For
this beautifully illustrated catalogue, Mark Rosenthal and a team
of scholars have written essays that examine the artists, the city
of Detroit in this period, and the commissioning of the murals by
Edsel Ford, the patron, and William Valentiner, then director of
the museum. Rivera's cartoons for the murals are highlighted along
with new archival research conducted by Rivera's grandson, Juan
Rafael Coronel Rivera. Featuring more than 100 color illustrations
of works by both artists, this book presents Detroit as a
profoundly important place for the artistic development of Rivera
and Kahlo.
