Der legendäre mexikanische Wandmaler Diego Rivera zeigte schon als Kind künstlerisches Talent. Er erhielt ein Stipendium für die renommierte Academia de San Carlos in Mexiko-Stadt und ein Studienstipendium für Europa, wo er viele einflussreiche Maler kennenlernte, darunter auch Picasso.

Rivera kehrte nach Mexiko zurück und wurde ein wichtiger und einflussreicher Maler sowie einer der Begründer der mexikanischen Muralismus-Bewegung. Seine Kunst stellte das Leben des mexikanischen Volkes dar und verherrlichte die präkolumbischen Kulturen des Landes.

Es gelang ihm auch, das Herz von Frida Kahlo zu erobern, die er (zweimal!) heiratete.

    Über den Künstler

    Diego Rivera

    Diego Rivera (1886 – 1957), was a prominent Mexican painter. His large frescoes helped establish the mural movement in Mexican and international art. Between 1922 and 1953, Rivera painted murals in, among other places, Mexico City, Chapingo, and Cuernavaca, Mexico; and San Francisco, Detroit, and New York City, United States. In 1931, a retrospective exhibition of his works was held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York; this was before he completed his 27-mural series known as Detroit Industry Murals.

    Rivera had four wives and numerous children. His third wife was fellow Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, with whom he had a volatile relationship that continued until her death.

    Due to his importance in the country's art history, the government of Mexico declared Rivera's works as monumentos históricos.

    The Unemployed Philosopher's Guild

    The origins of the Unemployed Philosophers Guild are shrouded in mystery. Some accounts trace the Guild's birth to Athens in the latter half of the 4th century BCE. Allegedly, several lesser philosophers grew weary of the endless Socratic dialogue endemic in their trade and turned to crafting household implements and playthings. (Hence the assertions that Socrates quaffed his hemlock poison from a Guild-designed chalice, though vigorous debate surrounds the question of whether it was a "disappearing" chalice.)

    Others argue that the UPG dates from the High Middle Ages, when the Philosophers Guild entered the world of commerce by selling bawdy pamphlets to pilgrims facing long lines for the restroom. Business boomed until 1211 when Pope Innocent III condemned the publications. Not surprisingly, this led to increased sales, even as half our membership was burned at the stake.

    More recently, revisionist historians have pinpointed the birth of the Guild to the time it was still cool to live in New York City's Lower East Side. Two brothers turned their inner creativity and love of paying rent towards fulfilling the people's needs for finger puppets, warm slippers, coffee cups, and cracking up at stuff.

    Most of the proceeds go to unemployed philosophers (and their associates). A portion also goes to some groups working on profound causes.
