弗里达和迭戈 池塘一样的特点
迭戈·里维拉。弗里达·卡萝。博物馆不断推出新的展览，一遍又一遍地呈现相同的作品。是不是这只是我们都在重复的一个课程？一个我们永远都不能“通过”的垄断机制？一个我们似乎从来没有能够从中醒来的梦？ 不，实际上它不是。我们可以从弗里达和迭戈，以及正在展出的所有其他艺术家（无论是一次，两次，或两千次）身上学习到的是，他们的作品是非常重要的。通过一次、两次甚至两千次的学习，我们也不能搜集到关于一幅画我们需要知道的一切。 艺术就像一个池塘的倒影。水本身保持不变，但被反射出的东西在不断变化。以大致相同的方式，雨滴，表面的涟漪，和池塘的环境可能会改变，我们对于主题和艺术家的知识，情感，理解和同情也在不断地发生着变化。 所以，下一次你感到沮丧，厌倦，无聊，或者兴奋，欣喜若狂，狂热，那就去一个艺术画廊或博物馆，再次看看对你来说可能已经变得非常熟悉的画。例如弗里达·卡罗，在她的许多自画像里，她皱着眉头或者傻笑了吗？迭戈·里维拉赞美了他所尊重的一个女人的身影，或者炫耀他的许多次征战了吗？请让我也知道！ 链接：

Art, Garden, Life: Re-Imagining Frida Kahlo
Most people who are confronted by seemingly insurmountable pain and catastrophe succumb to the depression, much less are able to channel their despair in a creative way. Frida Kahlo, one of the most influential and important artistic personalities of the 20th century, only began painting after she was confined to a bed for three months following a near-fatal bus crash. Kahlo said of her paintings: “I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.” Magnetic, vibrant, sexual, but borne into a body riddled by disease, miscarriage, and a crippling accident—Kahlo managed to make her own life into a work of art. She…

The Changing Face of Vallotton
Before photography came along paintings were undoubtedly the best way of providing a lasting imprint of a person’s physical appearance. It’s always confused and delighted me how dabs of paint on a canvas can be transformed into a likeness of a person, and at the hands of the best artists, can reveal a true sense of temperament and character. And due to our natural predisposition to study faces, it is perhaps one of the hardest painterly tasks to get right (one only needs look at the sincere but botched ‘Monkey Jesus’ Fresco to see how wrong it can go).

The Pond-Like Qualities of Frida and Diego
Diego Rivera. Frida Kahlo. A new exhibition at the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art. It feels like old ground, and yet we (and, by we, I mean museums and galleries), keep on putting new exhibitions up, re-showing the same work over and over again. Isn’t this just a curriculum which we are repeating? A monopoly set where we never get to pass ‘GO’? A dream that we never seem to be able to wake up from? No, actually it isn’t. What we can learn from Frida and Diego, and all other artists who are being exhibited (be it once, twice, or two thousand times), is that their work is important.…

Frida Kahlo und Diego Rivera: Leidenschaft, Politik und Malerei
„Diego schoss einmal auf ein Grammophon während einer von Tinas Partys. Das war zu der Zeit, als ich mich für ihn interessierte, obwohl ich mich vor ihm fürchtete.“ Frida Kahlo Wenn sich zwei exzentrische Künstler ineinander verlieben – und das lehrt uns nicht nur Hollywood – geht das in der Regel nicht gut aus. Und in der Tat konnte man die im Jahr 1929 zwischen Diego Rivera (1886-1957) und Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) geschlossene Ehe nicht gerade als gesund bezeichnen. Die beiden gaben schon vom Erscheinungsbild her ein ungleiches Paar ab: Rivera, der stämmige Revolutionär und die zwanzig Jahre jüngere und neben ihm noch kleiner und zierlicher wirkende Kahlo – „petite,…

A Life Most Solitary?
The place: Mexico. The year: Post-1910. Mexico was on the verge of change. Political instability, the blight of dictatorship, a peasants’ revolt: with events such as the Mexican Revolution fresh in everyone’s minds, passions must have run high. Actions were no longer as restrained. The freedoms of speech and desire were rife. We need only look to those well-known Mexican painters Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera for reference. Despite the volatile relationship shared by the painters (both of whom had several extra-marital affairs during their time together), Kahlo lived in an isolated world. A pain-filled existence was all she ever knew from the age of 6, when she contracted polio,…
