Aiding in the promulgation of the Mexican Mural Renaissance, Diego Rivera paintings are mainly big wall works done in fresco. Aside from being a world famous Mexican painter, Diego Rivera is also known for being an active communist and a husband to Frida Kahlo.
Initially embracing cubism, Diego Rivera paintings later on shifted towards Post Impressionism. This is shown in their simple forms and large patches of clear colors. These forms and patches were inspired by the Cezanne paintings. Displayed at several exhibitions, they began to attract the attention of their viewers.
Creation was the first significant mural among the Diego Rivera paintings. It was done in 1922 and painted in encaustic in an experimental manner. The following Diego Rivera murals were done only in fresco. They dealt with Mexican society while reflecting the 1910 Mexican revolution.
Beginning in September, 1922, the Diego Rivera paintings featured a development of a native style based on large, simplified figures and colors with an Aztec influence.
Story telling is a feature of Diego Rivera paintings. A perfect example of this feature in Diego's mural entitled In The Arsenal. In this mural, Tina Modotti is shown holding an ammunition belt while facing Julio Antonio Mella, wearing a light hat and standing in front of Vittorio Vidale, wearing a black hat. The painting was considered by some spectators as evidence that Diego had prior knowledge of Vidale's murdering Mella.
Consisting of a series of 27 fresco panels were the Diego Rivera paintings between 1932 and 1933.This series was entitled Detroit Industry. Also completed in 1933 was a mural containing a portrait of Vladimir Lenin entitled Man at the Crossroads. This particular mural was repainted in 1934 and subsequently entitled Man, Controller of the Universe.
Forming the bridge between 19th century Impressionism and early 20th century Cubism were the Cezanne paintings. They laid the foundations for the transition from the creation of artistic endeavour in the 19th century to a new and glaringly different art work in the 20th century.
A French artist and Post-Impressionist painter, Paul Cezanne was also known as the Father of Modern Art. This title was given to Paul after his Cezanne paintings featured repetitive, sensitive and exploratory brushstrokes, demonstrating design, color, composition and draftsmanship mastery. These brushstrokes proved to be highly characteristic of and clearly attributable only to Paul Cezanne.
Planes of color and small brushstrokes, that build up to form complex fields, are signatures of Cezanne paintings. They directly expressed the sensations of an observing eye and abstractions from an observed nature. Paul studied his subjects intensely and this is conveyed in his paintings, which also reflected his searching gaze and struggle to deal with human visual perception complexity.
Cezanne paintings strove to develop an ideal synthesis of naturalistic representation, personal expression and abstract pictorial order. The early Cezanne paintings were painted in dark tones applied with heavy, fluid pigment. They suggested the moody and romantic expressionism of previous generations.
It was a commitment to contemporary life representations that Cezanne paintings eventually developed into. They became Paul's own observation of the world. They were no longer concerned with either thematic idealization or stylistic affection.
