Diego  Rivera—imagine the opportunity to spend a weekend with this great Mexican artist and learn about his life and work. This delightful book offers just such a chance.

Rivera welcomes readers into his studio and tells the story of his art and his fabulous life. From his early days as a child prodigy to his huge mural projects as an adult, Rivera speaks of everything that went into his art—his great love for Mexico, his belief in creating art for the people, and his interest in the Pre-Columbian heritage of his country.

Rivera's charm and energy make this book fun reading; the beautiful reproductions of his murals, paintings, and drawings help teach about his art and what it means to be an artist.
