디에고 리베라(Diego Rivera), 멕시코, 화가, 1886-1957
멕시코 화가. 아내인 프리다 칼로와 함께 멕시코의 중요한 미술가로 손꼽힌다. 리베라는 콜럼버스 이전 시대의 미술과 입체주의, 사회 사실주의를 연결한 것으로 알려졌다. 멕시코 벽화운동의 중추였으며 작품을 통해 새로운 멕시코적 정체성을 확립하고자 했기에 멕시코의 영웅으로 추앙받고 있다.
About Her
Diego Rivera, a memorable figure in 20th-century art, actively painted during the 50 years from 1907 to 1957. Mexican by birth, Rivera spent a good portion of his adult life in Europe and the United States as well as in his home in Mexico City. Early in his career, he dabbled in Cubism and later embraced Post-Impressionism, but his unique style and perspective are immediately recognizable as his own. He was involved in the world of politics as a dedicated Marxist and joined the Mexican Communist Party in 1922. He hosted Russian exile Leon Trotsky and his wife at his home in Mexico City in the 1930s. Lived in unsettled times and led a turbulent life, Diego Rivera, widely known for his Marxist leanings, along with Marxism Revolutionary Che Guevara and a small band of contemporary figures, has become a countercultural symbol of 20th century and created a legacy in the art that continues to inspire the imagination and mind.
