“Baile en Tehauntepec,” by legendary artist and political activist Diego Rivera, vibrantly celebrates a tradition of his devoted supporters. A staunch advocate of working class civil rights, Rivera (1886 – 1957) was born in Mexico and created enormous outdoor murals which effectively summarized complex historical Mexican subjects. By reintroducing the popularity of murals painted on fresh plaster into modern art and architecture, Rivera made his artwork and political messages available to everyone.
