Diego Rivera paintings are large wall works in fresco. They help established the Mexican Mural Renaissance. Diego Rivera was a world-famous Mexican painter, an active communist and a husband to Frida Kahlo.
Cubism was the initial focus of Diego Rivera paintings. With their simple forms and large patches of colors, they began to shift towards Post-Impressionism, a shift inspired by the Paul Cezanne paintings. As they began to attract the attention of their viewing public, they were ultimately displayed at a number of painting exhibitions.
The first mural of note amongst the Diego Rivera paintings was entitled Creation. It was experimentally painted in encaustic in 1922. Other murals painted by Diego were done purely in fresco. Reflecting the Mexican revolution of 1910, they focused on the Mexican society.
Beginning in September, 1922, the Diego Rivera paintings featured a development of a native style based on large, simplified figures and colors with an Aztec influence.
Diego Rivera paintings tell stories. Diego's mural, In the Arsenal, shows Tina Modotti holding an ammunition belt, facing Julio Antonio Mella, in a light hat and Vittorio Vidale behind, in a black hat. This was interpreted by some as evidence of Diego's prior knowledge of the murder of Mella by Vidale.
Detroit Industry, a series of 27 fresco panels, consisted the Diego Rivera paintings between 1932 and 1933. Containing a Vladimir Lenin portrait was a Diego Rivera mural in 1933 entitled Man at the Crossroads. This particular mural was retitled Man, Controller of the Universe, after it was repainted in 1934.
Cezanne paintings laid the foundations for the transition from the 19th century conception of artistic endeavour to a new and radically different 20th century work of art. They formed the bridge between late 19th century Impressionism and the early 20th century Cubism.
A French artist and Post-Impressionist painter, Paul Cezanne was also known as the Father of Modern Art. This title was given to Paul after his Cezanne paintings featured repetitive, sensitive and exploratory brushstrokes, demonstrating design, color, composition and draftsmanship mastery. These brushstrokes proved to be highly characteristic of and clearly attributable only to Paul Cezanne.
Cezanne paintings used planes of color and small brushstrokes, building up to form complex fields. They are direct expressions of the sensations of the observing eye and abstractions from observed nature. They convey the intense study of subjects by Paul, his searching gaze and dogged struggle to deal with the complexity of human visual perception.
Cezanne paintings strove to develop an ideal synthesis of naturalistic representation, personal expression and abstract pictorial order. The early Cezanne paintings were painted in dark tones applied with heavy, fluid pigment. They suggested the moody and romantic expressionism of previous generations.
Gradually, Cezanne paintings transfigured into a commitment to contemporary life representation. Without concern for thematic idealization and stylistic affection, they presented the world on the basis of Paul's own observation of it.
