Esta novela gráfica, bellamente ilustrada, retrata la vida y la época de un artista cuya realidad es indistinguible del mito que lo rodea.

Diego Rivera fue un pintor revolucionario en más de un sentido. Comenzó a estudiar en la escuela de arte a los once años y en sus veintes ya era una de las figuras más influyentes de la escena parisina del aún joven siglo xx, junto a Picasso, Modigliani, Braque, Gris y Blanchard.

Los murales que Rivera pintó en México y Estados Unidos reflejan la contradictoria turbulencia de su carácter y su tiempo. Conoció a Lenin en París y a Stalin en Moscú, y le dio asilo a Trotsky durante su exilio en México, al tiempo que aceptaba encargos de los gigantes capitalistas de la época, como Henry Ford y John D. Rockefeller.

Su incansable laboriosidad sólo puede compararse con su febril entusiasmo vital, un rasgo que le hizo buscarse numerosas amantes y cuatro esposas, entre ellas Frida Kahlo, con quien sostuvo una intensa relación que sigue siendo una de las más memorables de la historia del arte.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Explore the passions and contradictions--both human and political--that turned the prolific and brilliant painter Diego Rivera into an increasingly universal cultural figure.

Diego Rivera was a revolutionary painter in more ways than one. Attending art school at 11, by his twenties he was counted among the most influential figures of the Parisian art scene of the early 20th century, including Picasso, Modigliani, Braque, and Gris.

Rivera's murals, both in his native Mexico and the United States, reflect the contradictory turbulence of his character and times. He met Lenin in Paris, Stalin in Moscow, and offered refuge to Trotsky during his Mexican exile. Meanwhile, his work was commissioned by giants of capitalism: Henry Ford and John D. Rockefeller.

Rivera's indefatigable industry was matched by his zest for life, accumulating hundreds of lovers and four wives--including Frida Kahlo, whose formidable partnership is also one of the great love stories of art history. This beautifully realized graphic novel tells the story of the extraordinary life and times of an artist for whom myth and reality fused.
