Throughout his career, Diego Rivera created numerous easel paintings and watercolors representing the indigenous peoples of Mexico. Flower Day (Día de flores) is his earliest and most accomplished depiction of a seller of calla lilies. The unusual perspective of the flowers, which are seen from above, and the blocklike forms of the figures are stylistic devices derived from Rivera's earlier cubist paintings.

The quest for perfect 3D representation drives innovation, stimulates creative expression, and sparks wonder in generation after generation. 3D: Double Vision is the first American exhibition to survey a full range of artworks, dating from 1838 to the present, that produce the illusion of three dimensions. These artworks function by activating binocular vision—the process by which our brains synthesize the information received by our two eyes into a single, volumetric image.

Reina del Cielo y de los santos, ca. 1770
En esta pequeña pero abigarrada lámina, el artista ha dispuesto magistralmente un total de 285 figuras de santos, rodeados por tondos con los misterios gozosos y dolorosos. En medio de esta catarata de gloria, la Virgen del Rosario, vinculada con la orden dominica, asciende al empíreo para ser coronada por el Padre Eterno.

Aparición de la Virgen del Pilar a Santiago, 1773
Esta pintura muestra la aparición de la Virgen María a Santiago y sus seguidores en la ribera del Ebro, extramuros de la ciudad de Zaragoza. Según la tradición, la Virgen, que se apareció sobre un pilar de piedra, fue transportada por ángeles desde Jerusalén para alentar al santo en su evangelización de la provincia romana de Hispania.
