The German capital just recently inaugurated an retrospective dedicated to legendary Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), one of the most controversial and mythic figures of this central American country, and one of the most relevant representatives of feminist art in the early 20th century.
Kahlo lived through and era full of radical social and political changes, which conditioned both her personal and artistic life. She crossed paths with such figures as Leon Trotsky (who lived in her house from 1937 until1939) or the photographer Tina Modotti. However the encounter which most marked her life was meeting Diego de Rivera, another very important figure in Mexican art.
