Question

Although Rivera was a Mexican Muralist, what Surrealist qualities does this work have?

Answer 1

Diego Rivera incorporated some Surrealist qualities in his work, as seen in his painting Zapatista Landscape.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although not explicitly considered or classified as a Surrealist, Diego Rivera incorporated some Surrealist qualities in his work. One example is his painting Zapatista Landscape (5.11.23), which shows Zapata with a sombrero, gun, and serape in front of the mountains.

This painting demonstrates Rivera's deep connection to his home country while he was living in Europe. The juxtaposition of Mexican symbols and the dreamlike, symbolic elements in the painting can be seen as a Surrealist influence.
