My childhood was spent in Coyoacan, perhapssixblocksfrom Casa Azul and half a block from the Trotsky house. I recallthe house being inactive but then the renovations started. I first remember the exterior as white/gray and it was astonishing when the blue paint was was resored. My childhood friend and I happened to drop by just as it was opened as a museum and we were allowed to tour. My most vivid memory is the kitchen.
Frida is an icon. Not just a famous, accomplished, legendary painter but a fashion icon as well. This was on full display at an exhibit at The Brooklyn Museum just last year.
I wouldn't say spectacular as much as moving and inspiring one to reflect. Knowing the difficulties of her life it seems this must have been a great relief for her to be able to be here and forget some of her troubles and the outside world.
Thank you for this great tour. Thank you to the wonderful, warm and informative narrator (who? Mr S Fry?). This home was everything for Frida from her birth to her death…..such rich and incredible spaces…….despite being in incredible pain she lived to the her fullest and as creatively as she possibly could. I loved looking out the massive windows of her art studio……a vertical garden adorning the walls with beautiful textures and forms and all the richness and history of the Mexican sculptures. The kitchen 🔥🔥🔥and the bed where she would have spent resting and recuperating and painting❤️❤️❤️ What a beauty she was.
Love all the colorful collections I'd love to live in a house like that! She'd cringe if she saw the homes now gray and neutral colors ... her decor pops everywhere.
A pleasure to see the house that meant so much to Frida Kahlo and that was such a part of her life. --- This may be off-topic, but I'm curious if there are any recordings of Frida Kahlo's voice: maybe a radio interview or an appearance in the early days of television or maybe she was in a newsreel.
Frieda and Diego’s love was like Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, like Romeo and Juliette, like the love of a twin flame connection that the only way to escape is through death on earth. ✨❤️🔥✨✨💔
You didn't mention the pain she was in the rest of her life was from a tragic accident involving a bus and a streetcar when she was just18 years old. After that was why she had so much pain the rest of her life it wasn't various illnesses. A metal rod had gone through her body before that she was ok.
