Painting
Famed for his monumental murals across North America, and the strong communist influence within his visual lexicon, Diego Rivera showed artistic talent from a very early age. Born in Guanajuato, Mexico, on 13 December 1886, Rivera began to draw by age three and enrolled in the Academia de San Carlos by eleven. In his twenties, he earned a grant that allowed him to travel to Spain and France. Afterwards, he returned briefly to Mexico until the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution, when he then resettled in Paris where he lived until 1919.
