Born on December 8, 1886, in Guanajuato, Mexico. * Now thought to be one of the leading artists of the twentieth century, * Rivera began drawing as a child. He studied art at the San Carlos * Academy of Fine Arts while in his teens and then traveled to Europe to * live and work on his art. He had some success as a Cubist painter, but * the course of world events would strongly change the style and subject * of his work. Inspired by the political ideals of the Mexican Revolution * (1914-15) and the Russian Revolution (1917), Rivera wanted to make art * that reflected the lives of the working class and native peoples of * Mexico. * * In 1921, through a government program, Rivera began to express his * artistic ideas about Mexico, its people and its history by starting a * series of murals in public buildings. In the 1930s and 1940s, Rivera * painted several murals in the United States.
