Cubist Landscape

Diego Rivera · 1912

Before you is Cubist Landscape, painted by Diego Rivera in nineteen twelve. Rivera spent over a decade in Europe and painted seriously as a Cubist before he went back to Mexico and to muralism — a stretch of his work that his later fame almost entirely covers over.
