In 1955, Mexican artist Diego Rivera travelled to Acapulco from Moscow, where he had been receiving cobalt radiotherapy treatments for cancer. Rivera came to convalesce with his largest collector and love interest at the time, Dolores Olmedo, at her vacation home, which they renamed Casa de los Vientos, or House of the Winds. Set near the top of a sea cliff overlooking the El Mirador Hotel, the house offered Rivera stunning views of Acapulco's iconic cliff divers and front-row seats for extraordinary sunsets.
