Huge wall paintings in fresco are the Diego Rivera paintings. The establishment of the Mexican Mural Renaissance is what they are known for. Three characteristics of Diego Rivera are his being a world famous painter, active communist and husband to Frida Kahlo.
Initially embracing cubism, Diego Rivera paintings later on shifted towards Post Impressionism. This is shown in their simple forms and large patches of clear colors. These forms and patches were inspired by the Cezanne paintings. Displayed at several exhibitions, they began to attract the attention of their viewers.
The first significant mural among the Diego Rivera paintings was Creation, experimentally painted in encaustic in 1922. The subsequent murals Diego painted were in fresco only, dealing with Mexican society and reflected the Mexican revolution of 1910.
There was a development of a native style in the Diego Rivera paintings, starting in September, 1922. The basis of this style was large, simplified figures and colors, with a tinge of an Aztec influence.
Story telling is a feature of Diego Rivera paintings. A perfect example of this feature in Diego's mural entitled In The Arsenal. In this mural, Tina Modotti is shown holding an ammunition belt while facing Julio Antonio Mella, wearing a light hat and standing in front of Vittorio Vidale, wearing a black hat. The painting was considered by some spectators as evidence that Diego had prior knowledge of Vidale's murdering Mella.
Between 1932 and 1933, the Diego Rivera paintings consisted of a series of 27 fresco panels entitled Detroit Industry. His mural, Man at the Crossroads, in 1933, contained a portrait of Vladimir Lenin. He repainted it in 1934 and retitled it as Man, Controller of the Universe.
Laying the foundations for the transition from the artistic endeavour conception of the 19th century to a new and radically different work of art of the 20th century were the Cezanne paintings. In short, Cezanne paintings were the bridge between the 19th century Impressionism and the early 20th century Cubism.
A French artist and Post-Impressionist painter, Paul Cezanne was also known as the Father of Modern Art. This title was given to Paul after his Cezanne paintings featured repetitive, sensitive and exploratory brushstrokes, demonstrating design, color, composition and draftsmanship mastery. These brushstrokes proved to be highly characteristic of and clearly attributable only to Paul Cezanne.
Cezanne paintings used planes of color and small brushstrokes, building up to form complex fields. They are direct expressions of the sensations of the observing eye and abstractions from observed nature. They convey the intense study of subjects by Paul, his searching gaze and dogged struggle to deal with the complexity of human visual perception.
The development of an ideal synthesis among naturalistic representation, personal expression and abstract pictorial order is the objective of Cezanne paintings. A suggestion of the moody and romantic expressionism of previous generations is the dark tones of the early Cezanne paintings. These tones were applied with heavy and fluid colors.
It was a commitment to contemporary life representations that Cezanne paintings eventually developed into. They became Paul's own observation of the world. They were no longer concerned with either thematic idealization or stylistic affection.
