There he took part in the 10th Anniversary of the Russian Revolution and also attended a massive reception party in Moscow, which was hosted by Joseph Stalin. Rivera had discussions with Soviet cultural authorities, which led to provocative debates.

He divorced Frida in 1940, and then went to San Francisco to participate in the 1940 Golden Gate International Exposition. At the same time, Rivera's friend Siqueiros led a failed assassination attempt on Trotsky in Rivera's Coyoacan home.

In August of 1940 Trotsky was murdered by Ramon Mercader, a professional assassin.

Rivera and Frida Kahlo remarried in December of 1940 and lived together until her death in 1954. After that Rivera made another trip to the Soviet Union and had meetings with post-Stalin Soviet authorities. Meanwhile, Rivera's first wife, Angelina Beloff, moved to Mexico looking for him and asked him for alimony, which he never paid. Rivera, who had remarried twice by that time and had other relationships outside his marriages, refused to recognize her and their son, who died while they lived together in Paris. Rivera even denied that he was ever in a relationship with Beloff, and refused her any support.

1934

It was chipped off the wall and destroyed in 1934, because Rivera refused to remove Lenin. He kept the money from the Rockefellers and re-created that mural at the Independent Labor Institute in Mexico City under the title "Man, Controller of the Universe" depicting Lenin and Trotsky as leading figures. Rivera was instrumental in obtaining political asylum in Mexico for Trotsky, who had been exiled by Soviet dictator Stalin. Rivera was initially approached by his political friend, Alberto J. Pani, who petitioned for Trotsky. When the moment was right, Rivera sought out Mexican President 'Lazaro Cardenas', who agreed to grant Trotsky political refuge. Trotsky and his wife were invited to live in Rivera's home in Coyoacan. They also socialized with surrealist writer André Breton and his wife, and traveled together. Eventually a series of personal and political conflicts developed between Rivera and Trotsky. Rivera discovered that Frida and Trotsky were having an affair at his home.

1932

From 1932-1933 Rivera created a paean to the American worker on the walls inside the garden court of the Detroit Institute of Arts.

His next mural in the lobby of the RCA Building at Rockefeller Center included a scene of a giant May Day demonstration with a portrait of Soviet Communist leader V. I. Lenin.

While Beloff was pregnant with his son, Rivera lived with another Russian artist, the famous beauty Maria (Marevna) Vorobieff-Stebelska, and they had a daughter, named Marika Rivera, born in 1919. Unstable, violent and a womanizer, Rivera was torn between his two women. He tried to kill Marevna, but as his knife cut into her throat their baby girl started to cry, which stopped him from taking the woman's life. However, her neck was disfigured with scars from the attack--she later did the same thing to Rivera--and they later divorced. As passionate as ever, Rivera became involved in politics.

He and David Alfaro Siqueiros met in Paris in 1919.

1917

" Their son was born in 1917 but died during the worldwide influenza pandemic of 1918. Beloff was the one who saved Rivera from trouble several times while he was out of control and violent.

They remained friends for many years and made a profound impact on Mexican art, known as the Mexican Mural Renaissance.

1913

Together with Beloff, Rivera experimented in making a series of Cubist works between 1913 and 1917. Then Rivera broke from Picasso and the Cubists.

His twin brother, Carlos, died in infancy, and Diego Rivera was raised as the only child. His father was a municipal counselor in Guanajuato, and a man of liberal views. He arranged an art studio for young Rivera by covering the walls of his room with drawing paper and encouraging him to paint all over the walls from the age of three. His mother was an obstetrician and a very religious Catholic. Diego also had an Indian nanny, named Antonia, who was an inspiration for many of his paintings and nurtured his love for the indigenous culture.
