Not everyone will recognize the name Diego
Rivera simply because he has not received the
attention and praise his art work most certainly
deserves.
When people think of famous painters, they
automatically think of those more well-known
to the world and those they have been exposed
to. However, people often neglect Mexico as
a source of very influential painters. Diego
Rivera prints have put Mexico on the canvas
of the art world and has left an indelible mark
in the world of art.
Rivera was known as one of Los Tres Grandes,
along with good friends David Siqueiros and
Jose Orozco. He was a revered artist in his
native Mexico and eventually the rest of the
world, where Diego Rivera prints have left indelible
impressions. He was very much a “crusader”
for the people and unlike many popular artists
at the time, his art was readily available to
the working class. He was a realist and believed
that the working class people had just as much
right to appreciate art as anyone else.
