Diego Rivera Collection: the muralist in intimate format, in Madrid

Casa de México in Spain presented a collection devoted to Diego Rivera that shows a less monumental side of the muralist: the portraitist, the draftsman, the observer of his friends. Among the pieces is a portrait of the poet Carlos Pellicer, where the features are emphasized through foreshortening and geometric figures. It is Rivera off the wall, at a scale that lets you approach his draftsman’s touch. For Spanish audiences it was a chance to know the artist beyond the icon. With ArtGuide you follow the conversation between Rivera and his circle.
