Rivera was staying at Dolores Olmedo’s home, which has a magnificent view of the beach and bay. This is the setting of where Rivera would create his painting of Sunset 15. The colors, specifically the blues, within the work show influence from Jose Maria Velasco, who was a former teacher to Diego and uses his blues in a similar way of which Rivera did. Within this particular work a Cubism time period can be seen due to its range of colors. The year in which Rivera created his work, 1956, was also the time frame of the Modern Art
