Diego RIvera


This is a really great fresco by Diego Rivera he was married to Frida Kahol. A very interesting guy. He is regarded as one of the great Mexican artist. I really like his work. Every painting tells a story. This was inside the Palacio de los bellas artes. We also went to the palacio nacional where he has some frescos that depict a lot of Mexican history as well as a great deal of political works.
He is well known because he focused a lot on the Aztecs and the indegenous populations. He really shifted the focus from the rich to the blue collar man. Indigenous people are the focus of a lot of his works as well as political themes.
