Synopsis
A story of heroic proportions, "The Fabulous Life of Diego Rivera" captures a career more extravagant and dramatic than most fiction. It is peopled by Rivera's friends and enemies, men such as Picasso, Cocteau, Trotsky and Rockefeller, by his many, many women, including four wives, and by his disowned children.
The places are as exciting as the people: Paris, Spain, San Francisco, New York, Moscow, and above all, Mexico. "I doubt if any other land," says Wolfe, "has had so much of its life set down on wall and canvas by any other painter."
Here, then, is biography in the grand style, the story of a hugely talented artist wresting a vision of centuries past and centuries to come from within himself and transcribing them for all the world to see.

About the Author
Bertram D. Wolfe (1896-1977) co-authored two books with Rivera, Portrait of Mexico and Portrait of America. He is also the author of Three Who Made a Revolution.
Review
Above all, [Wolfe] presents the life―the life of a Renaissance Man who mastered his time and was then mastered by it―in all of its superb color, movement, humor and pathos, with a gusto and epic sweep matching its subject. (New Leader)
The single account of his fabulous life and politics....Rivera's lives and loves, well documented here, are sensational enough to hold the interest of readers not particularly interested in painting. (The New York Times Book Review)
[A] very detailed but always readable and forthright account....The story is a magnificent one, and Mr. Wolfe tells it well. His book [has] an affection and generosity of spirit that is rare in critical literature. (Hilton Kramer The Nation)
