Transcript of Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera exhibition in Genova
http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/sandamichaela-2369262-frida/
In the prestigious halls of the Palazzo Ducale in Genova, a major exhibition presents the artistic and biographical sketch of one of the most famous couples of the twentieth century. Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera presents more than 120 works, curated by Helga Prignitz-Poda, with the collaboration of Cristina Kahlo (Frida’s great-niece) and Juan Coronel Rivera (Diego’ grandson), with the aim of telling the secret ties that united the two artists so profoundly and how their creative expression developed over time. What was known as “the union of an elephant with a dove”, the complex relationship of Frida and Diego was an expression of their very personal experiences with no differentiation between daily life and art.
