Research Post 4: Diego Rivera

Diego Rivera was born in Guanajuato City, Mexico on December 8, 1886. Rivera was born a twin and his twin brother died just two years after they were born. This event in Diego’s life is what led him to start his art career at the age of three. His parents then started to hang up paper and canvas to encourage his art.

The styles of art that Rivera was known for were paintings and murals. He moved to Paris, France, and found his first wife, Angelina Beloff whom he had his first kid who died at two years old. He had many wives one of which includes Frida Kahlo. Diego Rivera died, on November 24, 1957, in Mexico City, Mexico.
