Salma is a blog dedicated to the Mexican artist and painter Diego Rivera. It strives to provide a comprehensive and accurate source of information on the artist’s life, career, and works. Rivera’s art is today seen as an essential part of the art historical canon.

Taken as a whole, his oeuvre represents one of the most influential bodies of work in modern art history. His portrait paintings are notable for their colorful palette, stylized realism, and flat pictorial quality. His large murals – executed in a dynamic mode that combines both the sequential dynamism of theatrical scenery with the spatial dynamism of traditional painting – were inspired by pre-Columbian mythology, Mesoamerican culture, and elements of contemporary popular culture.

Over six decades, Rivera created more than 500 murals in Mexico City, Detroit, New York City, San Francisco, Oakland and other major cities in the United States; these were painted in fresco and some on large panels. He also painted numerous watercolors, sketches and letters. In addition to being a painter, he was an environmentalist and a Marxist politician who once ran for President of Mexico on the Communist Party ticket.

“Salma” is the name of a Mexican artist, who happens to be Diego Rivera’s wife.

She was born in 1904, and she died at the age of 51. This seems like a lot of information; how could you ever condense it into a single sentence? But that’s not what the sentence is trying to do. It isn’t trying to tell you everything there is to know about her. It’s just trying to tell you everything you need to know.

On August 15, 1929, Mexican artist Diego Rivera and his wife Frida Kahlo had their second son, the one they named after Kahlo’s father, Guillermo Kahlo. At birth, the baby was unusually large and had to be delivered by caesarean section. He weighed ten pounds.

What’s in a name? Nowadays it is common to give children two first names with the intent of giving them a name that will stand out from others within their peer group. But what if that name carries with it a lot of weight and history?

Growing up Guillermo became quite interested in art. He studied at the San Carlos Academy of Fine Art in Mexico City where he met Alejandro Gómez Arias who would become his mentor. Gómez Arias instilled in him his appreciation for the art of the Renaissance masters such as Botticelli and Michelangelo and encouraged him to experiment with different styles.

Towards the end of his life Rivera became increasingly worried about how he would be remembered. He wanted to leave something behind that would last, so he set about creating what he referred to as his “masterwork.” It is a mural based on the History of Mexico that runs along three

Diego Rivera was born in 1886 in Guanajuato, Mexico. He was a Mexican artist, who is considered one of the most important muralists of the 20th century.  Rivera’s murals are based on Mexican culture and politics. Most of his murals are located in Mexico, but his work can be found in many different parts of the world. The purpose behind his art was to make people aware of the social injustices and political corruption caused by capitalism. The artist’s murals show scenes from daily life as well as historical events; he also painted portraits.  Rivera was married twice: in 1917 to fellow artist Frida Kahlo and again in 1929 to Lupe Marin.

Diego Rivera is a famous Mexican artist who lived from 1886 to 1957. He was also an active communist. Perhaps his most famous work is the mural “Man at the Crossroads,” which is on display at the Rockefeller Center in New York City. In 1929, Rivera returned to Mexico after a long trip to the Soviet Union.

Dali’s portrait of Rivera was done during this period in which he became a more traditional painter and was denounced by communists like André Breton for being too bourgeois. The portrait depicts him looking over his shoulder with a troubled expression on his face. This may be due to Dali’s own feelings about their friendship, as well as Rivera’s increasing interest in painting non-socialist works.**

“As a child, Rivera was fascinated by life on the streets and the activities of the people around him. He sold candy and other goods to passengers on trains that stopped in the town, earning the nickname “Chapulín”, meaning “little grasshopper” in Spanish.”

Rivera was born on December 8, 1886. His childhood was marked by suffering: his mother died when he was three, and his father remarried soon after. Rivera later said he had been exiled from his father’s home at age eight. He told stories of his father’s abuse and corruption while he grew up; however, it is possible these stories were meant to portray himself as a victim rather than to present an objective view of his father.

The most influential teacher in Rivera’s life was Alberto Martinez Palencia, who inculcated in young Rivera an appreciation for Pre-Columbian art. At 15, Rivera moved to Mexico City to study art at the Academy of San Carlos. He enrolled at the prestigious Academia de San Carlos in 1902 with a letter of introduction from Palencia. While there, he studied various artistic techniques such as wood carving, engraving and lithography. Liking them all, early on he decided to specialize in painting and not limit
