Frida Kahlo may have felt alone, but through her paintings, she has connected with many others. In

painting the subject she knows best, she depicts her own personal pain, fear, anguish, loss - and even joy. The rest of us marvel at how she can depict our heartbreak, our sadness,

our loneliness. It's as if the physical pain that frida was forced to endure gave her the means to depict her feelings so honestly on canvas.

My thoughts about DiegoMy thoughts about Diego

The marriage of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo is one of the most famous alliances between artists. It is a well-known fact that they had a passionate and stormy relationship, filled with great love and also betrayals.

They both had incredible talents and vision, but Diego's work would be more public and monumental, whereas Frida's was more personal and intimate in scale.
