Or you could do as I do and buy prints and/or posters. :)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-39342078775384439732011-05-07T11:57:05.246-04:002011-05-07T11:57:05.246-04:00My section of the Rivera painting is of a group of...My section of the Rivera painting is of a group of peasants sleeping.

I loved looking at Kahlo's house, the decor, colors, art, pottery, plants.<br /><br />The movie was made to be a popular film, so relationships were key and sensationalized. <br /><br />I think a documentary about her art would be better. I have seen a documentary about Rivera and the history of his art and also censorship of some of his murals, which included a bit about Kahlo, but not too much.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-80466969064834262412011-05-06T09:45:07.290-04:002011-05-06T09:45:07.290-04:00Kathy: It was ok.

The film did not have much about Kahlo's artistry; it was about her life, ill health, friendships, fiery relationship with Rivera.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-23759197681047211762011-05-05T21:04:57.687-04:002011-05-05T21:04:57.687-04:00Patti: I'm not sure of the ethnicity of this p...Patti: I'm not sure of the ethnicity of this particular artist, but her paintings have a nice feel to them.

I thought it lacked 'artistry'. It was all about show - in my personal opinion.

Wouldn't mind a beer, though. ;) OR a margarita. Ha!<br /><br />Oh yes, I should have thought of Diego Rivera, I love his murals. Kahlo, not so much. Too much exposed pain. (In reality, they were both difficult people. He was SUCH a womanizer. Though if you look at him, you have to wonder - huh?)Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-67844885865616423152011-05-05T15:38:45.886-04:002011-05-05T15:38:45.886-04:00This day is also a day to remember to look at my D...This day is also a day to remember to look at my Diego Rivera mural paintings and to look up Frida Kahlo's paintings on the Internet...both incredible artists.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-75700583443568024262011-05-05T15:36:28.839-04:002011-05-05T15:36:28.839-04:00Happy Cinco de Mayo!
