Diego Rivera / Great Mexican muralist

El Porteador de Flores / Diego Rivera

Diego Rivera (Guanajuato, 1886 - ciudad de México, 1957) Pintor, considerado uno de los principales muralistas de México. Estudió por espacio de quince años (1907-1922) en varios países de Europa, en especial, España, Francia e Italia donde se interesó por el arte de vanguardia y abandonó the academic.

The works of this period reflect the one hand, a marked interest in synthetic cubism ( The guerrilla , 1915), made in his Paris period, and secondly, a great admiration for the fresco painters of the Quattrocento and in particular, by Giotto, which led to his departure from earlier Cubist aesthetic.

Identified with the revolutionary ideals of his country from Italian soil Rivera returned to Mexico (1922), at a time when revolution seemed established. Along with David Alfaro Siqueiros was devoted to study in depth the Mayan and Aztec art, which significantly influence in his later work. In collaboration with other prominent Mexican artists of the time (as the Siqueiros and Orozco), founded the painters union, from which emerge the Mexican muralist movement, deep indigenous roots.

In the 1930's went to the United States, where he put his art in the service of the exaltation of machinery, made a number of exhibitions and painted large murals in the cities of San Francisco, Detroit-decoration Art Institute of Detroit (1932 ) - and New York-Rockefeller Center (1933), which was rejected by its socialist content.
