Sommario/riassunto |
|
"I was aware of Diego Rivera, the Mexican muralist, long before I encountered the many other "Diego Riveras" that roamed the world between the beginning of the twentieth century and the late 1950's. [...] While his easel paintings and drawings constitute a large body of both his early and late work, his unique murals explode off walls in virtuoso performances of mind-staggering organisation. On those walls the man, his legend and myths, his technical talent, his intense story-telling focus and self-indulgent ideological convictions all come together." |
