Diego Rivera (December 8, 1886 – November 24, 1957), (full name Diego MarÃa de la Concepción Juan Nepomuceno Estanislao de la Rivera y Barrientos Acosta y RodrÃguez) was a cubist painter and muralist living in Mexico.
Diego is perhaps best known by the world public for painting a vast mural in the 1930s featuring early communist leaders juxtaposed with the Founding Fathers of the United States in the lobby of the Rockefeller Building. That work was quickly destroyed by angry Rockefeller staff people before it could be completed in that location; see the movie Cradle Will Rock for a reenactment.
Background
Rivera, born in Guanajuato, Guanajuato, Mexico, was of Jewish Converso heritage and Catholic upbringing, but a professed atheist and communist for most, if not all, of his life. He is said to be regarded in Latin America today as a folk hero. From a common-law marriage to the artist Angelina Beloff he had a son, Diego Jr., who did not survive infancy, and from a relationship with the Russian emigrée painter Marie Vorobieff-Stebelska (Marevna) he also had a daughter, Marika Rivera. His marriage to the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo was childless after a miscarriage, but he nevertheless spent a rocky lifetime relationship with her. More on [ Diego Rivera ]
