'''Diego Rivera''' ([[Guanajuato]] 1886 – [[Mexico City]] 1957) was a Mexican painter.
''Rivera's talent for historical murals and his tributes to earthy folk traditions made him one of the most influential artists in the Americas and one of Mexico's most beloved painters.'' [http://www.diegorivera.com/index.php The virtual Diego Rivera Web Museum]

Rivera was husband of artist [[Frida Kahlo]] and was an associate of [[Leon Trotsky]] during Trotsky's last days in Mexico. A noted [[Communist]], he once attempted to insert a portrait of [[Lenin]] into a mural commissioned by [[Nelson Rockefeller]]. Later, Rockefeller ordered it to be painted over, due to some pro-[[socialist]] imagery in the work. A duplicate original mural is now in [[Mexico City]]'s [[The Fine Arts Palace]].<ref>[http://gomexico.about.com/od/sights/ss/df_walking_9.htm Mexico City Museum of Fine Arts]</ref>
At the [[Detroit]] Institute of Arts, the museum's central courtyard is decorated with a series of 27 murals by the Mexican painter Diego Rivera that depict the automobile industry.
