One of Mexico’s most celebrated artists, Diego Rivera was trained at the Academy of San Carlos, Mexico City, and continued his studies in Paris in 1907, where he was greatly influenced by the Post-Impressionists and Cubists. Returning to Mexico in 1921, he soon became the leading painter of the Mexican Muralist Movement (1920s) after the government commissioned artists to create murals for public buildings as a means of unifying the country after the Mexican Revolution. Rivera was later commissioned for mural work in California, Michigan, and New York. He is best known for his politically charged murals and his paintings of humble, indigenous Mexicans.
