People Viewing Art

I adore Rivera and his huge Calla Lily's This is also my very favorite flower. I have a 24" tall crystal vase for just three calla lilies and it's a piece if art in itself. Imagine seeing this painted on a huge wall in Mexico like Rivera did so many times. I wanted to project what that would look like by making the lovers very small in front of the painting. This was a joy to paint. I will be painting more Rivera's along the way. Enjoy!

About the Artist - Diego Rivera

Diego Rivera’s “El Venedor de Alcatraces” uses strong colors and stylized, densely composed forms to portray a native Mexican peasant, representative of the burden borne by that country’s working class. Rivera (1886 – 1957) supported revolutionary politics, and strove to convey his ideal of a socialist utopia to Mexicans through frescoes which depicted Mexico’s history and social challenges. Creating art that would be easily accessible to working class people, Rivera revived outdoor mural painting, depicting historical scenes as tributes to folk traditions, making him one of Mexico’s most adored and influential artists. © Art.com www.art.com
