About

Diego Rivera's energy, physique, love for women, and work were all "bigger than life." born in a small Mexican mining town in 1886, he drew his way through childhood, entered art school at age ten, and later traveled throughout Europe, studying the great masters and imitating their techniques. 

When he returned to Mexico in 1921, he found his own unique style. He began painting the poetry of the common people—working, suffering, fighting, seeking joy, living, and dying—on the walls of public buildings. His murals were passionate, controversial, political, and enormous—like the painter himself.

Carmen T. Bernier-Grand’s inspiring free verse and David Diaz’s vivid paintings capture the defining moments and emotions of Rivera’s tumultuous life, including his stormy relationship with artist Frida Kahlo and his passion for his art. Rivera’s energy, physique, love for women, and work were all "bigger than life." A biography, chronology, glossary, sources, notes, and famous quotations are included.
