Rivera, Diego Biography

Was a Mexican painter who worked in Paris during the years that brought Cubism to birth, and he knew most of the principal artists in that movement. Diego Rivera held aloof from it, however, and eventually returned to Mexico (in 1921), where, like Orozco, he was power­ fully affected by politics.

• Dance in Tehuantepec
