| | 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.'' His cubist works are not well known, like ''El guerrillero,'' 1915 and ''Maternidad,'' 1916. Rivera spent five years producing cubist paintings (1913 - 1917).
