Thursday Evening Lecture - Diego Rivera and Spain (1907 – 1922)

Dr. Mark Roglán, Director, Meadows Museum, Southern Methodist University

This lecture will explore a little-known yet critical phase in the artistic development of one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. After completing his studies at the Academy of San Carlos in Mexico City in 1907, Diego Rivera traveled to Spain to further his artistic training. So began a new journey in his life and career, where he was influenced by artists of the past such as El Greco and Goya as well as by his contemporaries such as Picasso.
