His wife, Frida Kahlo , is also considered a leading 20th-century painter. Rivera was born on December 8, 1886, in Guanajuato, Mexico, and he attended the San Carlos Academy of Fine Arts, Mexico City, where he studied painting. From 1907 to 1921 he spent most of his time in Europe, studying and working in Spain, France, and Italy. In Paris he became familiar with the innovative cubist forms of Pablo Picasso and Juan Gris , and the work of earlier painters such as Paul C©zanne . In Italy he studied wall paintings of the Italian Renaissance ( see Renaissance Art and Architecture In 1921 Rivera returned to Mexico and took a prominent part in a revival of Mexican mural painting initiated by artists and sponsored by the Mexican government. Believing that art should serve the working people and be readily available to them, he concentrated on painting large frescoes on the walls of public buildings. He derived his style from a study of folk art and native Mexican art. His subjects were Mexico’s history and the everyday life of its people; with these murals he hoped to educate Mexicans about their past. His works during the 1930s included frescoes in the Ministry of Education at Mexico City and in the National Agricultural School at Chapingo.

Palacio Nacional Mexico City Travel And Tour Photos And Pictures Diego Rivera Murals Page Two George And Audrey DeLange Diego Rivera the man is very different than Diego Rivera the artist. Rivera the political man is also of almost as much interest as Rivera the artist. The painter was a lifelong militant atheist and revolutionary Marxist. One day when Diego was 6 years old, he was taken to the Church of San Diego to pray to the Virgin Mary. When he walked in, anger took hold of him for he did not believe in god and found the religion to be a joke, eventually he could hold his feelings in no longer, and ran from his aunt to the altar. In a strong and confident voice, he addressed the following speech to the crowd: "......... Stupid people! You reek of dirt and stupidity!....If there really is a Holy Virgin or anyone up in the air, tell them to send lightening to strike me down ...If God doesn't stop me, then there must be no God. Get out of here! You see, there is no God! You're all stupid cows!" Diego's harsh words caused the people in the church to run out screaming that the devil had appeared. The people made sure to run home and shut their windows and doors against this evil force. Diego Rivera, even at the young age of 6, knew how to shock a crowd.

Marriage to Diego Rivera Frida Kahlo was married to the famous Mexican muralist Diego Rivera. While married to Rivera, Frida gave up painting. She loved Diego Rivera very much and wanted to seem important to him. Frida knew that his murals were the most significant element in his life. She had begun to realize that she "would always be a second fiddle to Rivera's art." After being struck by this reality, her a once independent Kahlo became overly obsessed and devoted to the life with Diego Rivera. Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera's relationship did not start off immediately with love. Frida, high in spirits with her new art talents, appeared before Rivera wanting a his direct opinion on her artwork. Frida, with determination in her face, told Rivera. "I have not come to flirt, and even if you are a woman chaser,I have come to show you my paintings." Rivera was shocked and curious to see such a bold young woman speak to him in such a way. Rivera and Kahlo's relationship had begun with art, and continued to flourish with art. "During their courtship, Kahlo painted more than ever." Frida followed Rivera, dabbling with murals herself. However, Diego Rivera continued to encourage Frida, telling her that it would be best if she created her own style of painting. By his encouragement she formed her own ideas and techniques without the interference of Diego Rivera. However, when Diego Rivera had begun to paint his murals, Kahlo saw less and less of him each day. She then again became lonely, idly waiting for Diego to finish his projects. Yet when Diego had finished one project, he was soon beginning another.

His art greatly depends on a vocabulary born from a mixture between Gauguin and Aztec and Mayan sculpture. Diego Rivera, using simplified forms and vivid colours, brilliantly rescued the pre-Colombian past, as well as the cornerstones of Mexico's history: the land, the factory and land workers, the customs and the popular way of life. Diego Rivera's contribution to modern Mexican art was decisive in murals; he was a revolutionary painter who wanted to take art to a wider audience, to the street and buildings, using a precise and direct language with a realistic style, full of social meaning.

MARK VALLEN'S "ART FOR A CHANGE" A working artist's weblog for art theory and commentary. Friday, October 05, 2007 Diego Rivera: Glorious Victory! Fifty years after the death of Diego Rivera, the Palacio de Bellas Artes (Palace of Fine Arts) in Mexico City has launched a major exhibition to celebrate the famed Mexican Muralist. Having opened on September 28th, 2007, the important exhibit titled, Diego Rivera: Epopeya Mural (Diego Rivera: Epic Mural), presents 170 works of art by the radical Mexican artist, including 23 monumental wall paintings, as well as dozens of drawings and studies associated with the painter’s internationally renowned murals. It was of course Rivera, along with his compatriots David Alfaro Siquieros and Jos© Clemente Orozco, who broke the dependent links to European culture, helping to create authentic visual aesthetics for Mexico and establishing the profoundly influential, socially conscious Mexican Mural School in the process. I traveled to Mexico City in 1994 and marveled at the works of Rivera, Siquieros, and Orozco that are housed at the Palacio de Bellas Artes. No other group of artists has had such a profound effect upon me, and I’d give my eye teeth to see this tribute to Diego Rivera. Ending December 16th, 2007, the two-month long show is mounted in eight halls of the museum, and comes on the heels of that institution having presented the largest body of Frida Kahlo’s artworks to every be put on display -

(The Kahlo worship, though, continues unabated: A retrospective this summer at the museum of the Palacio de Bellas Artes here drew about double the number of visitors as the recent Rivera show there.) Rivera is best known, of course, for his Mexican murals, particularly in the National Palace and the Ministry of Education. If these seem rather earnest today, it is worth remembering, as Juan Coronel Rivera, an art historian and a grandson of Rivera, points out in one exhibition catalog, that Rivera and the Mexican muralists created the first major Modern art movement on the American continent. He also used pre-Hispanic motifs in drawing covers for the magazine Mexican Folkways, and created illustrations for the Mayan sacred book, the Popol Vuh, that drew elements from Mayan inscriptions.
