Trade Review
Above all, [Wolfe] presents the life—the life of a Renaissance Man who mastered his time and was then mastered by it—in all of its superb color, movement, humor and pathos, with a gusto and epic sweep matching its subject. * New Leader *
The single account of his fabulous life and politics....Rivera's lives and loves, well documented here, are sensational enough to hold the interest of readers not particularly interested in painting. * The New York Times Book Review *
[A] very detailed but always readable and forthright account....The story is a magnificent one, and Mr. Wolfe tells it well. His book [has] an affection and generosity of spirit that is rare in critical literature. -- Hilton Kramer * The Nation *
