Detroit Industrial Murals, 1932

Diego Rivera

Mexican, 1886-1957

Fresco

 

The Rivera Assembly Line fresco is at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Diego Rivera, from Mexico created them from 1932-33 . This is one of the highlights of the museum.

 

After working for many years in a Cadillac Assembly Plant in my opinion Rivera understood the business of Auto production and applied it well. Rivera based his work on visits to the Ford Rouge Plant then the largest auto plant in the world
