Diego Rivera's mural
depicting Mexico's history at the National Palace in Mexico City.
Diego María de la
Concepción Juan Nepomuceno Estanislao de la Rivera y Barrientos Acosta y
Rodríguez, known as Diego Rivera (December 8, 1886 – November 24,
1957) was a prominent Mexican painter and the husband of Frida Kahlo.
His large wall works in fresco helped establish the Mexican Mural
Movement in Mexican art.
Between 1922 and 1953, Rivera painted murals among others
in Mexico City, Chapingo, Cuernavaca, San Francisco, Detroit,
and New York City. In
1931, a retrospective exhibition of his works was held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York
City. [Wiki]
