FAQ About Diego Rivera
What techniques did Diego Rivera use in his murals?
Diego Rivera employed the fresco technique for many of his murals, a method where water-based pigments are applied on freshly laid wet plaster, allowing the paint to become an integral part of the wall. This technique was traditional in Mexican mural art, dating back to pre-Hispanic times, and allowed Rivera to create works that were both vivid and durable. His murals are also characterized by their grand scale and detailed narrative compositions.
