'Diego Rivera. The Complete Murals'

Widely considered one of Mexico's most important artists, Diego Rivera (1886–1957) led a passionate life in which art and communism were primary devotions. It's all detailed in Taschen's 'Diego Rivera. The Complete Murals', a comprehensive overview of the artist's remarkable oeuvre of frescoes, large-scale murals and paintings in the Cubist style, heavily influenced by Rivera's time in Europe during the 1910s. Revered for his depiction of social and political issues relating to the working class, Rivera is equally known as being the husband of fellow Mexican painter Frida Kahlo and both life and work are detailed here across texts that include an illustrated biography and essays. Authored by Luis-Martín Lozano and Juan Rafael Coronel Rivera, the book includes interpretations from prominent art historians on featured murals, paintings, vintage photos, documents and drawings, as well as the inclusion of works brought to light following an intense research project.
