Diego Rivera, the greatest of the Mexican muralists, called the fresco cycle he painted in the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) his “finest work.” We will look in depth at the Detroit Industry murals, and also at other works by Diego Rivera, as we explore his style, his life, and his ideas, using detailed illustrations. Wendy Evans was raised among the museums of London, England, and holds an advanced degree from Oxford University. She has taught art history at Wayne State University and other institutions in Michigan and is a long-time docent volunteer at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Wendy is known fondly for her British accent and crazy socks, and for the passion for art she loves to share with others in her richly illustrated presentations.
