Early in the Depression, Diego Rivera was commissioned by Edsel
Ford to create a series of murals in the gallery of the Detroit
Institute of Arts, giant frescos whose theme would be America's
industrial might. This volume studies the astonishing results and
gives us a remarkably close look at Diego and his wife, Frida
Kahlo. Rivera's Detroit Industry murals are one of this country's
greatest treasures. In addition to providing full coverage and
analysis of the murals, this volume includes chapters on the
murals' planning and antecedents, Rivera's working methods (which
can be read as a primer on frescos), Diego and Frida's lives for
their nine months in Detroit, and the public's dramatic response to
the strong socialist/communist themes in the works.
