HOLE 10 - Diego Rivera (1886-1957) A genius painter, he broke the pattern of
his time by developing his own technique in murals, pointillism, cubism and other
schools of art of his time. His large frescoes helped establish the mural movement
in Mexican and international art, featuring large figures with simplified lines and
rich colors. Many of his scenes tell the stories of workers such as miners, farmers,
industrial laborers, and peasants.
HOLE 11- Maria Felix (1914-2002) Is undoubtedly the most famous Mexican
actress from the Golden Era of Mexican cinematography. María Félix is widely
known to many as ‘the most beautiful face in the history of Mexican cinema.” Her
impeccable taste for luxury and strong personality garnered her the title of “diva”
in her early career. Félix was best known for her role in the film, Doña Bárbara,
where she donned the character of a strong woman who went beyond the
traditional roles of Latin American Women.
