Frida & Diego: Passion, Politics and Painting

Frida & Diego marks the first time important work by two influential Mexican artists will be shown in the Southeast.

Frida & Diego: Passion, Politics and Painting positions the artists' work in the political and artistic contexts of their time. Kahlo, whose paintings were described by French poet and writer André Breton as "a ribbon around a bomb," was called a Surrealist by some, but she resisted the label and claimed she painted her reality, not her dreams. The selected works allude to both artists' support for the Communist movement, as well as the concept of Mexicanidad, an identification with Mexico's indigenous roots.
