The exhibition of 34 works by Mexican artist Diego Rivera was officially opened to Chinesepublic on October 28 in Beijing.
Diego Rivera is considered the representative of Mexican muralists and an indispensablereference in universal art.
From landscapes created in 1904 to paintings of 1956, as well as three of his iconic murals,the collection is displayed on the third floor of the National Art Museum of China, one of thelargest art galleries in China.
Several pieces of this collection are unique since they belong to the group of works made byMaster Rivera during his stay in Europe, many of which were forgotten or destroyed bythe artist himself; one more reason to enjoy this great exhibition, which is now to be shownin Asia for the first time.
This collection also includes still life, portraits, nudes and scenes of daily life, representingdifferent phases in art history such as naturalism, cubism and indigenous daily life scenesthat deeply influenced Mexican painters of his time.
The director of the National Art Museum of China (NAMOC), Wu Weishan, said, “TheChinese public is very familiar with the artist, especially with his murals and portraits.”
Mexican ambassador to China Julian Ventura said that Rivera’s murals are especiallyattractive to Chinese audiences “because of the ideological component, as he forges hisidentity as an artist during the first social movement of the twentieth century: the MexicanRevolution in 1910.”
"Diego Rivera: Pride of Mexico" will be displayed in Beijing until December 9.
