In 1920 Jose Vasconcelos (Secretary of Education, 1921-24) sent Rivera to Italy to study Italian murals. In 1919 Siqueiros came to Paris, and he and Rivera discussed the potential for murals as a “proletarian” art form. But Rivera began to wonder to what extent the “common man” could relate to Cubist paintings. He met Russian “Cubists” who argued that art should be for the people (and that’s what they were doing by painting in this style). “Two Women” (1914) In Paris, Rivera went through a Cubist phase. “Angeline Beloff” (1917) In Paris he worked on his painting, took a mistress, had a child (who died of influenza), and began developing a greater political consciousness.
