The definitive biography of a most remarkably talented man, May 10 2005
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Diego Rivera the Red (Hardcover)
Ably translated into English by Dick Gerdes, Diego Rivera The Red is written by Guadlupe Rivera Marin, the daughter of the renowned Mexican muralist Diego Rivera. Rivera's murals and paintings grace iconic buildings and cultural centers throughout Mexico as a result of his personal commitment to making his art available to the working-class people he so often portrayed in his works. In addition to his art, Rivera was also engaged in the struggle for societal change and became an active participant in the movements of his day, including fighting alongside the Zapatistas in the hills of southern Mexico and the socialist/anarchist revolutionaries on the streets of Barcelona and Paris. This 256-page biography of Marin includes his encounters with and attitudes towards such history making figures as Emiliano Zapata and Vladimir Lenin. Highly recommended and very informative reading, Diego Rivera The Red is the definitive biography of a most remarkably talented and quite passionately dedicated man of "interesting times" and accomplishments.

Diego Rivera the Red - I can't recommend this book, Feb 16 2012
By Miriam Pat Thorpe "Miriam Pat" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Diego Rivera the Red (Hardcover)
I have found this biography to be written in a childish style. The author, even though she was Diego Rivera's daughter, has essentially made him into a pussy cat, which he was not. Some of the translations are very bad, and there are many misspellings and poor grammar in the book. Translator must not know English very well. Editing is poor and shoddy, and if you enjoy good literature, don't buy this book.
