beecheralyson's review against another edition
The illustrations in this book are beautiful. The story of Diego Rivera's life is told through individual poems. The book doesn't cover up Diego's wild artist side.

No matter how many biographies I read about Diego Rivera, I am constantly amazed by this man and his life. He seemed to have grabbed life with both hands to squeeze out every ounce of emotion and then painted it.
The illustrations are gorgeous and I appreciated the few photographs that were included.
A section that stood out was:
"A million public walls
wouldn't be enough
to paint all the beauty of Mexico."

Are we supposed to admire Diego Rivera? Or is this a cautionary tale?
