# Diego Rivera

> His murals covered entire buildings — workers, machines, history rendered at architectural scale. Between 1922 and 1953, Rivera turned walls in Mexico City, Detroit, and New York into something between propaganda and scripture, making him the face of a movement that redefined what painting could be.

## Bio

Diego María de la Concepción Juan Nepomuceno Estanislao de la Rivera y Barrientos Acosta y Rodríguez was born December 8, 1886, in Mexico. He painted murals across two countries — Mexico City, Chapingo, Cuernavaca, then San Francisco, Detroit, New York — helping establish the mural movement in Mexican and international art. In 1931, the Museum of Modern Art gave him a retrospective; the next year he began the 27-panel Detroit Industry Murals. He married four times, including to Frida Kahlo, a volatile pairing that lasted until her death. His first child, a son, died at two. The Mexican government later declared his works monumentos históricos. His 1931 painting The Rivals sold for $9.76 million in 2018, a record for a Latin American artist until 2021.
