Synopsis
Fun and innovative portrayal of the finest Mexican-style mural in the United StatesAn insightful look into the art of one of the most celebrated and controversial painters of his time An important resource on this masterwork of modern artDiego Rivera's (1886-1957) Detroit Industry fresco cycle in the Detroit Institute of Arts is the finest Mexican-style mural in the United States. Completed in nine months, between July 1932 and March 1933, the murals are a tribute to Detroit industry and labor, and Rivera considered the cycle to be the most successful work of his career. Throughout the murals, Rivera celebrates the harmonies between man, nature, and machine. The cycle begins on the east wall, which depicts the origins of human life and technology. The panels on the west wall represent technologies of air and water and introduce the automobile industry. The north wall is devoted to representations of two races of humanity, the automobile industry, and scenes from other major Detroit industries: medicine, pharmaceuticals, and commercial chemicals. Panels on the south wall primarily depict the production of an automobile body. This unique volume details the murals with horizontal and vertical fold-outs ideal for the paintings' size and scope. A lively text includes information on the artist and his technique; the patron, Edsel Ford; and a detailed analysis of the various panels that make up the fresco cycle.Amy Pastan is an independent writer, editor, and book producer., Details Rivera's Detroit Industry fresco cycle.
