Diego Rivera

Diego Rivera was a Mexican painter and one of the three great figures of the Mexican mural movement, with Orozco and Siqueiros. After years in Paris painting in a Cubist style, he returned home in 1921 and covered public buildings with frescoes of Mexican history, workers and indigenous life, including the National Palace in Mexico City. In the United States he painted the Detroit Industry Murals, and his mural for the Rockefeller Center was destroyed because it included Lenin. He was married to Frida Kahlo.
