Diego Rivera
This revealing biography covers the life and art of painter Diego Rivera. Diego Rivera: A Biography presents a concise but substantial biography of the famous and controversial Mexican artist.

It looks at the work he did in the United States (1930–1933) and follows his career from his subsequent return to Mexico through his death in 1957.

It explores his tempestuous marriage to renowned painter Frida Kahlo and looks at controversial works, such as Rivera's 1933 mural for the RCA Building at Rockefeller Center in Manhattan, which featured a portrait of Communist party leader Vladimir Lenin, and was officially destroyed the following year.

The key indicator of dominance is control over central religious sites, which may be tacitly shared for long periods, but later contested and even converted as dom...
