Itinerary
Observe the emblematic places in Frida Kahlo's life, where she met the muralist Diego Rivera, who later would depict her in original murals that we will see, tracing the artist's history, spaces, and life.
"The Man at the Crossroads," the work that Nelson Rockefeller ordered destroyed in New York in 1933 because Rivera refused to erase Lenin's face. Upon returning to Mexico, Rivera painted it again in Bellas Artes and included portraits of key people in his life, like Frida.
In the mural "Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in the Alameda Central" (1947), Frida Kahlo is located exactly in the geometric and symbolic center of the work. In her right hand, Frida holds a small sphere with the oriental symbol of balance. This represents the duality, the union of opposites, and the complementarity between her and Diego.
The Two Fridas (1939): The imposing double self-portrait of large format that addresses the artist's divorce from Diego Rivera and her duality. Original work, painted by Frida Kahlo.
