Diego Rivera studied in the San Carlos Academy from 1896 to 1905; he had as teachers some of the most important painting figures like [[Santiago Rebull]], [[Jose Maria Velasco|José María Velasco]], Félix Parra, [[José Salomé Piña]], Andrés Ríos, Julio Ruelas, Antonio Fabrés and Germán Gedovius; ''his travels to Europe enabled him to come into contact with Renaissance, Cubist and avant-garde works. His work shows study and analysis of neoimpressionism, Cézannism, Fauvism and Cubism. He experimented with oils, pastels, watercolors, fresco, encaustic and tempera on cloth, cardboard, paper and pressed cork.''

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>
