4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent illustrations, May 28, 2004

(REAL NAME)   
The art of Diego Rivera is most definitely the focus of Schaefer's book, rather than his personal life or political activities. This approach is probably best suited for the audience age level, but it should be said that this book gives a very simplistic view of a tumultuous and politically controversial life. Most importantly, though, the illustrations are excellent and the selection of works from different periods and styles of Rivera's career is outstanding, especially in regards to his early work and training. Young readers will enjoy learning about mural painting and "public art", as well as Rivera's philosophy of creating art about and for people, from a clear and educational viewpoint.
