  1. Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera

  2. Frida Kahlo • Frida has been described as: "…one of history's grand divas…a tequila-slamming, dirty joke-telling smoker, bi-sexual that hobbled about her bohemian barrio in lavish indigenous dress and threw festive dinner parties for the likes of Leon Trotsky, poet Pablo Neruda, Nelson Rockefeller, and her on-again, off-again husband, muralist Diego Rivera."

  3. Biography • Mexican painter, best known for self-portraits • Suffered life-long health problems as a result of polio at the age of six and a traffic accident when she was a teenager, which left her bedridden for over a year

  4. "I suffered two grave accidents in my life…One in which a streetcar knocked me down and the other was Diego." • Frida Kahlo married Diego Rivera at the age of 22. He was 42. • Their marriage was troubled, but it survived infidelity, divorce, her bi-sexuality, and infertility. • They were communists.

  5. Diego Rivera • Muralist and painter of frescoes (murals done on fresh plaster) • Became famous for his murals depicting Mexican history
