Despite the conflicts and passionate discrepancies between Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, the art created by this fiery couple has influenced art-lovers around the world.
Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera are known world-wide for their contributions to the evolution of art. Both artists, although possessing completely different styles, became two of Mexico’s most famous people and in turn revolutionized the world of art.
This dynamic pair was not only known for their talent and vision, but also for their stormy love affair that would last over thirty years. Theirs was a love inspired by mutual beliefs and passions. However, often throughout the course of their turbulent relationship, they were viewed as immature school children displaying bouts of jealousy and anger. Despite their problems, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera overcame the obstacles and their love proved enduring.
In 1940, the couple divorced for reasons they refused to divulge, but they still frequently made public appearances. Over the course of several years, both artists were involved in other relationships, but in 1950, as Kahlo’s health was deteriorating, the pair were reunited and remarried. Some speculated that Kahlo used her failing health as a means to hold Rivera’s attention, but despite these rumors, it could not be denied that Frieda Kahlo was dying and Diego Rivera was there to comfort her.
Despite the infidelities and the passionate disputes, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera’s love endured. In 1954, when Frida passed away, it was Diego who was by her side. The love affair of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera was of epic proportions and inspired their art, making the couple artistic legends.
