Publisher's Note True stories of true legends! Legendary figures triumph over tough challenges in these brief biographies. Beginning readers learn about favorite heroes and heroines in books they can read for themselves. This controversial artist, influenced by communism and the gap between the rich and the poor in the U.S. and Mexico, created a distinctive new style of painting that grew out of traditional Mexican native art.
