Diego Rivera was a Mexican painter during the Post-impressionism period of time. He was born on December 8, 1886, in Guanajuato, in Mexico and was died on November 25, 1957. He was the painter who loves paint large scale murals which revival of fresco painting in Latin America. He studied in Spain and settled in Paris and became friends with some leading modern artists. Around 1917, he abandoned the Cubist style and be closer to the Post-impressionism. He used the simple form and bold color in his painting. I like how he used both warm and cold colors in his painting.

One thought on “Impressionism and Post Impressionism

  1. Sisy,

    Glad to see you have caught up with your blog posts. Only four more to go now. You have also found some more obscure artists in a couple of the eras which is good. Just as an aside you were suppose to post on artists I did not cover yet you posted on Pontormo for Mannerism… I lectured on him in the second week.
