“I was aware of Diego Rivera, the Mexican muralist, long before I
encountered the many other “Diego Riveras” that roamed the world between
the beginning of the twentieth century and the late 1950s. […] While
his easel paintings and drawings constitute a large body of both his
early and late work, his unique murals explode off walls in virtuoso
performances of mind-staggering organisation. On those walls the man,
his legend and myths, his technical talent, his intense story-telling
focus and self-indulgent ideological convictions all come together.”
(Gerry Souter)
Gerry Souter, the author of the remarkable Frida Kahlo, overcomes his
huge admiration for Diego Rivera to give the artist a human dimension,
found in his political choices, his love affairs and his belief that
“this truth was Mexico, the language of his thoughts, the blood in his
veins, the azure sky above his resting place.”
About the author

went on to do further studies in art at the University of Chicago.
Himself an artist, Souter has exhibited his paintings and photographs at
The Art Institute of Chicago, the Phoenix Art Museum and a number of

books since 1997, with great success. His continuing studies in Art
History and Architecture, the sharpness of his writing, and his visual
experience add a dynamic aspect to the study of the lives of artists and

after page.
