I am within 100 pages of finishing "Dreaming With His Eyes Open" (Rivera is in San Francisco with Frida Kahlo) and Frida figures prominently - to say the least - in this stage of Rivera's life. So I thought I'd include a link to a web site with additional information about Frida Kahlo.
I am struck by how Frida reinvented herself in a way similar to Rivera's own reinvention! I am looking forward to discussing this aspect of their lives when we meet next week!

ReplyDeleteDiego and Frida visited in 1930-31, staying on Montgomery St.at Ralph Stackpole's studio(a picture of them in front of the fireplace, now resides on the fireplace mantle of that studio)
In 1940 they remarried in City Hall on Diego's birthday, Dec. 8. I am one of the historians on the mural he did at this time, Pan American Unity
