Diego Rivera – The Flower Carrier

Diego Rivera was arguably one of the greatest Mexican painters of the 20th Century, and certainly the most well known. He is credited in modern times for reviving the art of painting frescos in Latin America and the United States, and was a leader in the Mexican mural movement.
Jose Diego Rivera Barrientos was born in Guanajuato on 8th December 1886. He had a twin brother, Jose Carlos, who died at eighteen months old, and a younger sister. When he was six, the family moved to Mexico City. Showing an early talent, Rivera received a scholarship to attend the San Carlos Academy of Fine Arts but, after student riots, he was expelled. He was then granted a travel scholarship to study in Europe. He arrived in Spain in 1907, and then went to France. After arriving in France he met Angeline Beloff, who gave birth to his only son, Diego, in 1916. more…

    surprisingly nothing is mentioned about Frida Kahlo , Riveras’ equaly talented wife and a painter in her own right.

    Is that another of his jabs at the evil, capitalistic world or do men really stumble under the weight of roses there? He could try carrying fewer.
    The painting is wonderful!

    Adorei seu trabalho. Sugere a força do ser humano, sua persistência em suportar o peso da vida, representada pela cesta enorme que carrega.

    Diego Rivera is an extraordinarily creative and original artists, certainly one of Mexico’s best ever, in my opinion.

    I particularly enjoy his murals and general South American themes which i don’t normally experience.

    Diego Rivera is an artist that i will continue to try to learn more about. If anyone can suggest further famous Mexican artists that i might like, please do.
