About Flower Festival

The artwork, titled “Flower Festival,” was crafted by Diego Rivera in 1925. This oil-on-canvas piece, reflecting the Art Deco movement, measures 147.3 x 120.7 cm and belongs to the genre painting category. It is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in Los Angeles, CA, US.

“Flower Festival” captures an immersive scene filled with cultural richness. Central to the composition is a figure, presumably a man, holding an abundance of white calla lilies that fill the background. He faces two kneeling figures, likely women, whose backs are turned to the viewer. One of the women has braids, while the other is seen carrying a child on her back. The color palette features earthy tones, with the bright white of the lilies contrasting against the darker hues of the clothing. The artwork emanates a sense of community, tradition, and respect for nature, mirroring Rivera’s masterful ability to intertwine social realism with an iconic visual language.
