They met in 1928, Frida Kahlo was then 21 years old and Diego Rivera was twice her age. He was already an international reference, she only aspired to become one. An intense artistic creation, along with pain and suffering, was generated by this tormented union, in particular for Frida.

Дрезден, 1957 год. Verlag der Kunst. С множеством иллюстраций. Издательский переплет. Сохранность хорошая.

Очень близки ему были и традиционные мексиканские художественные жанры и стили.
