In this summer of record heat, inflation and political turmoil, “Diego Rivera’s America” has arrived at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art as a reminder of why art matters.
focuses on the 1920s to the 1940s, when Rivera returned from Europe to Mexico and was hired to paint murals in public buildings as part of reconstruction after the Mexican Revolution.

The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston bought the work, then lent it to SFMOMA for the show.
During the 1920s to ’40s, Rivera also traveled to the U.S., completing some of his best known and most politically charged works amid the economic collapse of the Great Depression, including the frescoes he made for the Detroit Institute of Art and for Rockefeller Center in New York, with funding from two of the wealthiest families in America: the Fords and the Rockefellers. Both frescoes are represented in the exhibition through drawings and wall projections.
