Jewish, Russian, and Portuguese descent. An avant-garde easel painter, his works are in
museums around the world. But his most celebrated achievements are his murals. He stands
out as one of the giants of Mexican Muralism, a state-sponsored movement aimed at
celebrating the nation’s history, indigenous culture, and post-Revolutionary ideals. Besides
decorating government buildings in Mexico, Rivera’s monumental murals are found in
museums in Detroit and San Francisco. However, in popular culture today, he is famous for
being the husband of Frida Kahlo!
