Diego Rivera was a revolutionary painter in more ways than one. Attending art school at 11, by his twenties he was counted among the most influential figures of the Parisian art scene of the early 20th century.

Rivera's murals, both in his native Mexico and the United States, reflect the contradictory turbulence of his character and times. He met Lenin in Paris, Stalin in Moscow, and offered refuge to Trotsky during his Mexican exile.

Meanwhile, his work was commissioned by giants of capitalism: Henry Ford and John D. Rockefeller. This tells the story of the extraordinary life and times of an artist for whom myth and reality fused.
