Explores the passions and contradictions--both human and political--that turned the prolific painter Diego Rivera into an increasingly universal cultural figure. Attending art school at 11, by his twenties he was counted among the most influential figures of the Parisian art scene of the early 20th century, which also included Picasso, Modigliani, Braque, and Gris. Rivera’s murals reflect the contradictory turbulence of his character and times. His indefatigable industry was matched by his zest for life, accumulating hundreds of lovers and four wives--including Frida Kahlo, whose formidable partnership is also one of the great love stories of art history. This graphic novel tells the story of the extraordinary life and times of an artist for whom myth and reality fused.
