Rivera's monumental frescos gave life to revolutionary themes, often offending both critics and the general public. But throughout, Rivera remained a champion of the oppressed as well as a painter of genius. Containing essays by noted scholars on his place in the history of modern art, the book is an essential overview of Rivera's career.
