Details: http://www.high.org/Frida-Diego?sc_device=default This exhibition features more than 75 works by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, the two central figures of Mexican modernism. Few artists have captured the public’s imagination with the force of Mexican painter Kahlo (1907–1954) and her husband, Mexican painter and muralist Rivera (1886–1957). The exhibit positions their works within the political and artistic contexts of their time. The myths that surrounded them during their lifetime arose not only from their significant body of work, but also from their active participation in the historical happenings around them. Their art speaks of a fierce loyalty to and pride in Mexico, the ideals of the 1910 Mexican Revolution, and their commitment to the conditions of the common man. Free with Museum Admission Adults: $18 Seniors/Students: $15 Children (ages 6 to 17): $11 Children (5 and under): Free!
