 Diego Rivera was born to be a famous artist. He began drawing at an early age, painting murals on the walls in his house before he even attended school. As he grew older, he attended art classes after school. Before long, his dream of becoming a successful artist was within his reach.  Rivera attended art school in Mexico and Europe. He became famous for his murals in cities throughout Mexico. These murals told stories about the everyday life of Mexican people. He also painted murals in the United States, some of which also told stories of the Mexican people.  Today Rivera’s murals can still be seen in Mexico and the United States. They help tell the story of Mexican history and add to the beauty of the art world. Many artists and viewers continue to be inspired by Diego Rivera.

 The term Pre-Columbian is frequently used in art to refer to the indigenous art of Latin America in general, produced before Christopher Columbus 'arrival in the Americas.  Diego Rivera loved Pre-Columbian art and collected it long before its current popularity. Pre-Columbian objects often appear in his work.  Pre-Hispanic refers specifically to the indigenous cultures of the New World before the Spanish conquest.  Pre-Hispanic people and culture are frequently depicted in Diego Rivera’s work, especially the Aztecs of Mexico and the Incas of Peru.  The Pre-Hispanic Aztec people are particularly significant in the history of Mexico. For instance, the Spanish built modern Mexico City on the remains of the old Aztec city of Tenochtitlan.  Rivera glorified Pre-Hispanic cultures in his work, and frequently depicted the Spanish as oppressive exploiters of the native population.
