A Mexican artist that you could research would be Diego Rivera. Diego Rivera was born on December 8, 1886. He died on November 24, 1957. He belonged to several art movements, such as cubism and muralism. Two famous works by this artist are "Sueño de una Tarde Dominical en la Alameda Central" and "The History of Mexico." He is particularly valued in Mexico for his role in muralism, and for his collaborations with many artists of the time. He was also responsible for depicting much of the indigenous culture, traditions and art of Mexico. Personally, I think he was a very significant painter and a cultural icon, both because of his art and because of his marriage to Frida Kahlo.
