After studying art in the Academy of San Carlos, Mexico City, Rivera travelled to Spain and later moved to Paris, where he befriended modern artists such as Picasso. As a result, Diego was influenced and adopted the Cubist style until 1917, where his artistic style transitioned into a Post-Impressionist style similar to C\u00e9zanne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early on in his career, Diego painted murals depicting Mexican themes and subjects. Later murals created by Rivera included flat human figures, bright colours and wider subject matter such as peasants and factory workers while covering thousands of square feet on building walls. He was also a Communist, which reflected onto his murals and sparked controversy during his time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rivera\u2019s attitude towards art revolved around his art coming first before other aspects of his life. The phrase that accompanied this attitude was \u2018Mi arte, mi vida\u2019 meaning my art, my life in Spanish. This phrase became the title of his autobiography, solidifying his legacy for future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
