In 1932, Mexican muralist Diego Rivera was the subject of MoMA’s second single-artist exhibition, which set new attendance records during its five-week run. Current MoMA curator Leah Dickerman tells the astounding story of the artist’s focus on New York subjects through monumental images of the urban working class and the social stratification of the city during the Great Depression, a period during which he also produced the famous Rockefeller Center mural. Hear how Rivera moved between Russia, Mexico and the United States, embodying the intersection of art and radical politics in the 1930s. Take a fresh look at the food of Mexico with a culinary historian and enjoy a taste of traditional Mexican cuisine—in food and drink—as Diego Rivera would have. Dickerman is curator of painting and sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art and organized the exhibition “Diego Rivera: Murals for the Museum of Modern Art,” on view through May 14.
