Diego Rivera Mural at San Francisco Art

Russian Hill · public_art · Free

Rivera painted himself into this fresco — literally, sitting on a scaffold with his back to you as he paints.

The 1931 fresco 'The Making of a Fresco Showing the Building of a City' by Diego Rivera is accessible in the SFAI gallery space. One of three Rivera murals in San Francisco and the most self-referential.
