Diego Rivera was a revolutionary painter in more ways than one. Attending art school at eleven, by his twenties he counted among the most influential figures of the Parisian art scene of the early 20th century, including Picasso, Modigliani, Braque and Gris. Rivera’s murals, both in his native Mexico and the USA, reflect the contradictory turbulence of his character and times. He met Lenin in Paris, Stalin in Moscow, and offered refuge to Trotsky during his Mexican exile. Meanwhile his work was commissioned by those giants of capitalism, Henry Ford and John D. Rockefeller. Rivera’s indefatigable industry was matched by his zest for life, accumulating hundreds of lovers and four wives – including Frida Kahlo, whose formidable partnership is also one of the great love-stories of art history. This beautifully realized graphic novel tells the story of the extraordinary life and times of an artist in whom myth and reality fused.

Frida Kahlo, remembered as one of the most inspiring personalities of the 20th century, was a woman of two intertwined parts: she was both a charismatic and empowered artist exploring themes of resistance, authenticity, cruelty, and suffering, and a more private person whose wounded body caused her a lifetime of pain that underpinned the many successes and disappointments that marked her time in the world. Revealing and exploring these two Fridas, Francisco de la Mora’s graphic biography – completed with the endorsement and support of the Frida Kahlo Museum in Mexico City – vividly documents the landscapes and environments that inspired her, the dreams and nightmares that drove her, and the many people she loved. It is also a joyously beautiful tribute to her life, her work, her home – and her art. “Frida Kahlo’s work has been widely celebrated as representative of Mexican national and indigenous traditions, and for depicting the female experience and form. Overcoming illness, trauma, and physical injury, her iconic life, and the enduring art she made of it, communicate indomitable strength and the constant possibility of change.” — Circe Henestrosa, Educator and Fashion Curator (co-curator of ‘Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving’ at San Francisco’s de Young Museum in 2020).

Esta novela gr fica, bellamente ilustrada, retrata la vida y la poca de un artista cuya realidad es indistinguible del mito que lo rodea. Diego Rivera fue un pintor revolucionario en m s de un sentido. Comenz a estudiar en la escuela de arte a los once a os y en sus veintes ya era una de las figuras m s influyentes de la escena parisina del a n joven siglo xx, junto a Picasso, Modigliani, Braque, Gris y Blanchard. Los murales que Rivera pint en M xico y Estados Unidos reflejan la contradictoria turbulencia de su car cter y su tiempo. Conoci a Lenin en Par s y a Stalin en Mosc , y le dio asilo a Trotsky durante su exilio en M xico, al tiempo que aceptaba encargos de los gigantes capitalistas de la poca, como Henry Ford y John D. Rockefeller. Su incansable laboriosidad s lo puede compararse con su febril entusiasmo vital, un rasgo que le hizo buscarse numerosas amantes y cuatro esposas, entre ellas Frida Kahlo, con quien sostuvo una intensa relaci n que sigue siendo una de las m s memorables de la historia del arte. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Explore the passions and contradictions--both human and political--that turned the prolific and brilliant painter Diego Rivera into an increasingly universal cultural figure.

She looked at me attentively, and I think that she perhaps guessed that instead of feeling like a good-for-nothing, I was beginning to get angry. I saw that her gorgeous green eyes blinked too much. She gave me the impression that she thought for an instant just what she was going to say to me and then changed her strategy. Now, the tone of her voice and her attitude were less hostile and more amiable. She went from the hard and merciless character to that of an ingenious and tender negotiator. With sweet words almost dripping in honey, she told me,"Javier, my love, be a good friend. I ask you please not to seek me again. You know what?
A Moral Stance: '51 University of San Francisco Fight Against Discrimination
The University of San Francisco football team went undefeated and untied in 1951. They were considered for a spot playing in the Orange Bowl for the National Championship against Georgia Tech. The invitation came with a caveat that they leave there two African American players at home. Never before or for eight years after, had any University not accepted those terms. The Players from USF stood fir against this discrimination. Eleven members of the team of thirty-seven players were drafted into the National Football League. Three of them made the NFL Hall of Fame. The publicity manager for the team was Pete Rozelle, a grad student at USF at the time. Rozelle went on to become the commissioner of the NFL, expanding the league from twelve teams to twenty-eight and is responsible for the SuperBowl, and Monday Night Football. This is a story of those individuals and what led to the moral stance that has made them legends.Gary (Doc) Nelson was a Division I collegiate athlete, lettering in two sports. He became the University of San Francisco's Men's Golf coach in 2005 and was voted Coach of the Year in the West Coast Conference three years later. He served as Director of golf in charge of both Men's and Woman's Golf in 2009. In 2010 he was asked to become the Director of Athletics at USF, a position he accepted on an interim basis for the following year. During his year as Director of Athletics, he saw the grade point average of the athletes rise from a 2.9 to a 3.20 overall. His men's teams won the Commissioner's cup for the West Coast Conference, and donations increased by seventy percent over the previous year. As Athletic Director, he became intimately familiar with not only the story of the 1951 Don football team, but with many of the individuals that played on that squad. This is his second book. He lives in northern California, just over the Golden Gate Bridge from the University. His four children, all semi-launched, and living close. Most summer days he can be found driving the back roads of Marin County in his 1957 Triumph TR-3
