Book Description
Examining the artistic development of Pablo Picasso and Diego Rivera, two towering figures in the world of modern art, this generously illustrated book tells an intriguing story of ambition, competition, and how the ancient world inspired their most important work. Picasso and Rivera: Conversations Across Time explores the artistic dialogue between Pablo Picasso and Diego Rivera that spanned most of their careers. The book showcases nearly 150 iconic paintings, sculptures, and prints by both artists, along with objects from their native ancient Mediterranean and Pre- Columbian worlds. It gives an overview of their early training in national academies; important archaeological discoveries that occurred during their formative years; and their friendly and adversarial relationship in Montparnasse. A series of essays accompanies the exquisitely reproduced works, allowing readers to understand how the work of each artist was informed by artworks from the past. Picasso drew upon Classical art to shape the foundations of 20th-century art, creating images that were at once deeply personal and universal. Meanwhile, Rivera traded the abstractions of European modernism for figuration and references to Mexico’s Pre-Columbian civilization, focusing on public murals that emphasized his love of Mexico and his hopes for its future. Offering valuable insight into the trajectory of each artist, this book draws connections between two powerful figures who transformed modern art.

A time line, listings of art museums and places where Kahlo and Rivera's art can be viewed, and a list of relevant websites complete this cross-cultural art experience.

Book Description
"These intimate Sunday dialogues with what is surely the most influential Mexican artist of the twentieth century show us the free-flowing mind of a man who was a legend in his own time: an artist who escaped being lynched on more than one occasion, a painter so controversial that his public murals inspired movements, or, like the work commissioned by John D. Rockefeller, were ordered town down, Here in his San Angelin studio, we hear Rivera's feelings about the elitist aspect of paintings in museums, his motivations to create public art for the people, and his memorable, unedited expostions on the art, culture, and politics of Mexico"--Book flap.

Book Description
Esta novela gráfica, bellamente ilustrada, retrata la vida y la época de un artista cuya realidad es indistinguible del mito que lo rodea. Diego Rivera fue un pintor revolucionario en más de un sentido. Comenzó a estudiar en la escuela de arte a los once años y en sus veintes ya era una de las figuras más influyentes de la escena parisina del aún joven siglo xx, junto a Picasso, Modigliani, Braque, Gris y Blanchard. Los murales que Rivera pintó en México y Estados Unidos reflejan la contradictoria turbulencia de su carácter y su tiempo. Conoció a Lenin en París y a Stalin en Moscú, y le dio asilo a Trotsky durante su exilio en México, al tiempo que aceptaba encargos de los gigantes capitalistas de la época, como Henry Ford y John D. Rockefeller. Su incansable laboriosidad sólo puede compararse con su febril entusiasmo vital, un rasgo que le hizo buscarse numerosas amantes y cuatro esposas, entre ellas Frida Kahlo, con quien sostuvo una intensa relación que sigue siendo una de las más memorables de la historia del arte.
