Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Revolutionary and troublemaker Diego Rivera (1886-1957) pioneered public art - particularly with his magnificent murals - that was both highly advanced and profoundly accessible. His tumultuous career is surveyed in this richly illustrated Spanish-language entry in the Basic Art series celebrating major artists. This enticing collection shows both the wide range of his art and its influence on other painters and artistic movements.

Booklist Review

Gr. 9^-up. Magnificent color reproductions and an engrossing narrative introduce the life and work of the great Mexican artist Diego Rivera. The layout and design make the book very accessible, and Kettenmann ably captures both the spirit and the controversy surrounding the eccentric artist.
