Summary

A revision of the artistic production during the two stays (1927 and 1955-1956) of the noted muralist in the extinct Soviet Union. Under the curatorship of María Estela Duarte and Mariano Meza Marroquín, the exhibition brings together 289 pieces including manuscripts, drawings, oil paintings, watercolors, photographs, posters, objects, video and complementary material. Diego Rivera's relationship with the Soviet Union throughout his life has been a subject of study in a great amount of research focused on his diverse political positions, however, little or nothing has been studied about the enormous influence that the Soviet Union had in the plastic work of Rivera, which shaped an aesthetic at the service of Marxist ideology aimed at progress, where work would be the redeeming element that would dignify man and produce a strong state. In August of 1955 Diego Rivera accompanied by his fourth wife Emma Hurtado moved to the city of Moscow with the idea of treating a cancer that had been diagnosed months ago. During his stay he made a large number of sketches by way of which the artist narrated his journey through Moscow and later on his trip to Berlin. The edition is a clear and precise study on the work that Rivera generated in the URSS, a clear artistic period Riveriano-Russian, full of references to communism: the man-machine structure - work as a generator of capital. The exhibition was divided into two venues: The Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo Museum, where the works referring to his first encounters with Russian painters and intellectuals in Montparnasse are exhibited, as well as the works produced in his first stay in Moscow between 1927-1928. While the Museo Mural Diego Rivera presents the work pertaining to the trip of 1955-1956.
