Exhibition at the Meadows Museum focuses on the years Mexican artist Diego Rivera spent in Paris and his Cubist portraits during that early stage in his career. The show, which will be on view through Sept. 20 (June 21-Sept. 20) in the museum's second-floor gallery space, includes paintings and drawings from museums and private collections in the United States and other countries.
"Mexican Art at the Meadows," running concurrently with the Rivera exhibition, includes lithographs by Rivera and other Mexican artists. The show includes a portrait of Frida Kahlo by Rivera (he and Kahlo were known for their tempestuous marriage) as well as images of rural life in Mexico. On view through Sept. 20 in the museum's first-floor gallery space. Free admission.
