Description
Diego Rivera's 'Zapatista Landscape (The Guerrilla)' is a Cubist painting from 1915 that reflects the Mexican Revolution through fragmented forms and symbolic objects.
Diego Rivera's 1915 painting, 'Zapatista Landscape (The Guerrilla)', offers a Cubist interpretation of the Mexican Revolution. Rivera, a prominent figure in Mexican muralism, created this work during his Cubist period in Europe. The painting blends elements of still life with references to the revolutionary struggle. Dominating the composition is a rifle, a clear symbol of the armed conflict. A sarape, a traditional Mexican blanket, is rendered in fragmented geometric shapes, its bright colours contrasting with the muted tones of the background. A sombrero and other objects are also discernible within the Cubist structure. The background features a simplified depiction of the Mexican terrain, with mountains rendered in pale blues and greys. Rivera's Cubist style breaks down the scene into facets, presenting multiple viewpoints simultaneously. This approach reflects the dynamic and multifaceted nature of the revolution itself. The painting is not a literal depiction of a landscape, but rather an abstract representation of the revolutionary spirit and the cultural identity of Mexico.

Artist Biography
Diego Rivera
Rivera painted walls. Big ones. The murals at the National Palace in Mexico City cover over a thousand square feet and depict the entire history of Mexico from the Aztecs to the Revolution. He worked on scaffolding, in fresco, for years at a stretch. The scale was political: he wanted art that belonged to the public, not to collectors.
He studied at the Academy of San Carlos in Mexico City and spent fourteen years in Europe (1907-1921), absorbing Cubism in Paris and working alongside Picasso, Modigliani, and Mondrian. He returned to Mexico and found his subject: the history, labour, and people of his country, painted in a style that combined Renaissance fresco technique with pre-Columbian imagery and Marxist ideology.
The Detroit Industry Murals at the Detroit Institute of Arts (1932-33) are twenty-seven panels depicting the Ford Motor Company's River Rouge plant. The workers are heroic. The machinery is beautiful. Henry Ford's son Edsel commissioned them. The business community wanted them destroyed. They survived.
He married Frida Kahlo in 1929. They divorced in 1939. They remarried in 1940. The relationship was mutually unfaithful, politically intense, and artistically productive for both of them. Rivera said Kahlo was the better painter. Whether he believed this or was performing generosity is an open question.
He accepted a commission from Nelson Rockefeller for a mural in Rockefeller Center in 1933 and included a portrait of Lenin. Rockefeller asked him to remove it. Rivera refused. The mural was destroyed. Rivera repainted it in Mexico City. He died in 1957, at seventy.
