Synopsis "Diego Rivera: Illustrious Words 1886-1921, Volume I"

The renowned Mexican muralist Diego Rivera was also a prodigious storyteller and a witness to some of the most formative social and artistic movements of the twentieth century. A central figure in the emergence of the avant-garde in post-revolutionary Mexico, Rivera was also a keen art critic--if occasionally caustic towards those he disagreed with, he was also a generous promoter of emerging talent. This two-volume set--the first comprehensive collection of Rivera's writings in English--reveals the vision; irony and insight of his rarely examined written work. Included in these two illustrated volumes are selections from Rivera's inventive, partially fabricated autobiography, written in collaboration with Loló de la Torriente and Gladys March, as well as letters and other previously unpublished essays. The first volume covers his childhood, his years of apprenticeship and his life among the European avant-garde. The second covers his return to Mexico in the wake of its tumultuous and transformative revolution.

Diego Rivera (1886-1957) was a prominent Mexican painter and muralist, known for his commitment to social and political art. His work mainly encompasses muralism, in which he depicted the history and social struggle of Mexico, standing out for his technique and the profound message of his works. Although more recognized for his visual work, he also ventured into literature with some publications, though he was not a prolific writer. Among his most iconic works are his murals at the National Palace and the Detroit Institute of Arts, and his co-authorship in books about his art and worldview.
