FRIDA KAHLO ♥ DIEGO RIVIERA

Diego Riviera (1886- 1957) ~ Frida Kahlo (1907- 1954)

Amor por Siempre

With a great  admiration for Frida Kahlo tonight i joined a lecture about  the mythical art couple Frida Kahlo & Diego Riviera by Karin Haanappel. About their turbulent life, their unconventional marriage at that time, their great devotion for each other and their shared interest for politics. But most important they shared a great passion for art. The only significant difference; Diego Riviera painted for the people. He was a great painter and muralist. While Frida Kahlo painted her life story. The art world called her a great surrealist. From which Frida was offended cause she said the only things she painted was her own reality. In spite of her life of suffering Frida lived her life to the fullest. She was not only the wife of Diego Riviera,with her extraordinary exotic presence and unique art expression she became one of the greatest artist in art history. She became an icon. Together they created their own New Mexican Art; a fusion of  western avant garde, Mexican history and pre-Colombian era.  As you know we at Milagros 

Mundo love Frida Kahlo. You can find some real  cool Frida Kahlo treasure wanna haves in our shop. From postcards, jewellery, sarapes, boxes, mirrors to candles . Even Frida kitsch art. The only item missing would be a Frida original; a painting by Frida Kahlo. But all Frida Kahlo admirers be aware and visit Paris!
