THE FABULOUS LIFE OF

THE FABULOUS LIFE OF
DIEGO RIVERA. By
Bertram D. Wolfe. (Stein
& Day; 500
Diego Rivera, the Mexican
muralist, who died only six
years ago at n, a major force
and influence on modern art,
already is a legend composed
more of fact than of apOcry-
phal tales.
He was a huge, untidy man,
with a vast gusto for life and
art, and the authenticated
happenings of his career could
hardly be made more colorful
by inserting hearsay or taking
literally the tall stories he
often told about himself.
Bertram D. Wolfe, who was
born in Brooklyn, spent many
years in Mexico and knew the
painter intimately. He did an
earlier biography of Rivera,
but this more comprehensive
account not only is updated,
but, as the bioprapher eX-
plains, is more critical be-
cause Mr.. Wolfe has Invested
himself of his Communist
affiliations and the deeper
sympathy which he had for
Rivera's theological obses-
sions in the 1906. Thus the
author is more critical here,
though no less appreciative of
the painters best work.
A Freethinker
Rivera was born in the
silve r-mining, mountaintop
town Of Guanajuato. His par
ents had a degree of educa-
ton, and his father was a
minor government official.
The boy was to start a life
time of shocking people by
announcing at the age of 6
that he was an atheist. His
Mortified mother and aunts
we're counterbalanced by his
father, who called himself a
freethinker.
A boyhood facility for
sketching sent Diego eventual
ly to an art school in Mexico
City. His teachers tried to
tone down his modernistic
tendencies, his originality, and
at the age of 20 he fled to
Europe, where he was to live
for l3 years, most of the time
in Paris. He became the
friend Of Picasso and Of many
other modernists, and the
youth floundered around from
one school Of painting to
another, lingering longest in
cubism, which in time he also
rejected for his own develop
ing style.
When he returned to Mexico
he found his real metier-
murals. By then he had a
reputation, and the Mexican
government gave him free
use Of the walls of the new
National Palace, the chief
government building on the
ZOcalo, in downtown Mexico
City. There he did his great
est work, an enormous series
of figures and scenes of heroic
dimensions depicting the
entire history Of Mexico, from
before the Spanish conquest to
contemporary times.
Threw Down His Brushes
Rivera became a dedicated
Communist and there was
much propaganda in his mu-

wonder if critics and scholars
have not been guilty of a
desire to elevate their hero's
character. The spirit still
enjoys a better reputation
than the flesh, and there is
perhaps a surreptitious profit
to be made by promoting Don
Juan to a Promethean posi-
ton"
Mr.. Mandel does not how
ever believe that though Don
Juan has been a simple and
ele entary character
throughout his life span Of $50
years, he has also been a
static character. In his CLASH
cal career, Don Juan is a
frank and joyous ibertine, a
scoundrel, childlike, who gets
his women by his physical
charm, his money, his social
position, deceit, or, if neces-
Sary, rape. In the end he is
forthrig htly and fatty
damned, but his intellectual
activity has never included
consideration Of sin. The
romantic Don Juan lis more
adult and less naive. He still
has tremendous energy, but
that energy is channeled by
the consciousness of an ideal,
or at least Of a defined
goal THel is Of necessity
a titan a conscious rebel
He longs, he is sad, he
meditates, he is cursed and
haunted, his crime is noble,
and his stance heroic. :.
BY the same token, his an
tagonists, who had carried
all the dignity Of the state
and God. now turn into
pasty-faced philistines. :"
But in our own time, as Mr..
Mandel says, the great iber-
tine has been reduced to an
object of pity. Poor Don
Juan! The priapic follies are
over, and the Pure Woman
Tof Romanticisml is forgot
ten, too. Don Juan is shriv-
eled, old, nauseated, and
rather disgusting. Little girls
laugh at his senile attempts.
But he thinks a great deal,
chiefly about himself. He even
knows he is a Myth. He talks
about Absurdity. Indeed, he
talks endlessly." He is nerv-
GUS, insure of himself, guilty.
And we now see the most
important change in the dra-
matte life of Don Juan: He
has ceased to enjoy himself.
All IL of the plays Mr..
Mandel includes in his an
thology-by Molina, Moliere,
Shadwell, da Ponte, Christian
Dietric h Grabbe, william
Moncrieff, Moral, RoStand,
Montherlant, Max Frisch, and
a morality play, and most of
the nondramatic poems and
essays are of interest in the
development Of the myth, but
in addition some Of the plays
not widely known are of great
intrinsic value. Especially
fine are don Juan and
Faust" written in 1929 by
Christian Dietrich Grabbe, Of
whom Grihparzer remarked
that he had sovereign genius
but small talent, and Farinelli
that he was Sublime and
trivial; Max Frisch's play
(1953-1962) in which the hero
is interested in geometry
rather than girls; and RoS-
lands last and quite unknown
play, 1.-THE Last Night of Don
Juan" (1921). Mr.. Mandel
mentions Ingmar Bergman's
"The Devils Eye" (196D, but
unfortunately does not include
the text, which is very good
and deserves a better formal
than film subtitles to be
glimpsed as the picture is
watched.

history OF writing, and though
no one has set a very high
value on the play as an arts
tic creation, nevertheless the
latter created a character
who has lived on to become
one Of the universal myths,
perhaps one Of the few gods,
of the Western World. AS
Oscar Mandel says in his long
and fascinating preface to his
anthology of pieces inspired
by the sensual nobleman:
Zone could write a useful
literary history of Western
Europe by citing for illustra-
tons nothing but Don Juan
texts. Don Juan never created
a climate; he always respond
ed to it, and in fact responded
to it with almost academic
perfection. With Tirso, he is
duly baroque; with Moliere, a
courtly hbertine. Da
Ponies hero is all 18th cen
fury Italy, that is to say
philosophically vacant and
utterly refined. With Grabbe
he thickens into Romanticism
"a late example of "Sturm
und Drang" at its stormiest
and most pressing. With Mont
herlant he is old, disabused
and analytic, as becomes our
times. Always he beats with
the pulse of his epoch and the
reason is that not one literary
work concerning him is great
enough to have forced a new
note on its times or to have
deviated into eccentric splen-
dor. :"
Here Mr.. Mandel touches on
one Of Don Juan's unique
aspects, that he is far greater
than any Of his creators. The
other supreme myths or gods
of the West-Hamlet, Don
Quixote and FauSt-each at
some time in his career has
been perfectly embodied; Don
Juan is no less an all-perva-
sive and eternal man, but his
vitality is in the conception of
him, he still awaits his au-
thor, his Shakespeare, Ger
-vantes, Goethe. It is ironic
that the two clearly superior
literary manifestations Of the
nominal Don Juan have al
most nothing to do with the
hero Of the myth. The great
est, Byron's masterpiece, is
really a magnificent digres-
sion from the name, 1t con-
Germs Byron the chased-by-
women, not Juan the women
chaser. Shaw's Don Juan, or
John Tanner (Don Juan's
family name is Tenorio), is a
misogynist and otherwise
owes little to the legend. Mr..
Mandel points out that it is
artistically possible to have a
Don Juan who hates women
(as Max Frisch's does too in
don Juan or the Love of
Geometry, just as it would
be possible to have an ignora-
mus Faust, but In each case
the effect Of the about-face
depends on the long-estab-
liShed character of the iber-
tine or the Savant.
For Mr.. Mandel sees Don
Juan as quite simply and
unequivocally a man whose
entire life is devoted to the
= conquest Of women, a perfect
libertine whose 1908 Spanish
women (the tally is estab-
blished in the original play

brunette, beautiful and ugly,
willing and unwilling, virginia.
and experienced. That part of
the essential Don Juan is his
individualism, his atheism,
his contempt for and conflict
with authority, Mr.. Mandel is
inclined to doubt. "Just as
Malvolio had greatness thrust
upon him, so is rebellion
thrust on Don Juan. To
believe that his sexual va
carries are the expression of
his revolt against God and

BY EDDY GILMORE

LONDON, April "a. -
Princess Alexandra of Kent,
18th in line for the British
throne, was married in the
medieval splendor of West
minister Abbey today to
Scotsman Angus Ogilvy, a
financier and second son Of
the Earl of Airlie.
1t probably was the last
wedding of British princess

married one left is Anne, IL
year-old daughter of Queen
Elizabeth II. Anne was the
chief bridesmaid today.
Thousands Of Londoners
jammed Parliament Square
outside the 900-year-old alb
hey and lined the flag-hung
mall to cheer the tall, smiling
Princess and her craggy-
faced businessman bride
groom. Millions of Britons
watched the rites on tele-
vision.
Brother Escorts Her
Alexandra, 26, in trailing
magnolia lace embroidered
with acorns and oak leaves,
swept up the blue-carpeted
aisle of Westminster Abbey
on the arm of her brother,
the Duke of Kent, who flew
from Hong Kong to give her
away.
The tall green-eyed Prin-
cess, daughter of the late
Duke of Kent and Princess
Marina, drove to her wedding
in a glass coach and four
supplied by her first cousin,
Queen Elizabeth II.
More than 1000 guests, In
cluding the largest assembly
of European royalty-in Of
flee and out-that Britain
has seen since Princess Mar
garet married Antony Arm
strong-Jones, were in the
900-year-old abbey for the
ceremony.
Television carried the cere-
mony to millions of Britons,
and many of the guests in
the vast abbey watched on
IA monitor sets on each side
of the aisle. The royal guests
had q closeup view from
chairs on each side of the
sanctuary, within a few feet
of the high altar.
