La Casa Azul biography, La Casa Azul discography
Hidden behind
high cobalt blue walls at the corner of Londres and Allende in this
charming southwestern suburb, the museo is where the surrealist artist
Frida Kahlo was born, grew up and later lived with her muralist husband
Diego Rivera, from 1941 until her death at age 47 in 1954.Columbian idols and luxuriant tropical plantings, is where Frida
romped as a child and later as an adult worked on her paintings and held
art classes for her "Los Fridos" students.Off the courtyard, the first
room one enters is the formal living room, a place where the Riveras
entertained their international and eclectic set of friends, including
Sergei Eisenstein, Nelson Rockefeller, George Gershwin, the Russian
emigre Leon Trotsky, caricaturist Miguel Covarrubias and actresses
Dolores del Rio and Maria Felix.Now it's a gallery where some of Kahlo's
paintings can be seen, including paintings of her family and her last
work, Viva la Vida, a vibrant still life of watermelons.Judas figures, monsters
traditionally filled with firecrackers and exploded on Sabado de Gloria,
the Saturday before Easter.Additionally, when she was 18 an horrific
bus and streetcar accident left her with multiple spinal injuries,
necessitating many operations.Rivera are reflected in
some of her paintings.The Casa's sparkling dining room and kitchen are pure
Mexicanista.Fulang Chang, a beloved spider monkey, or Bonito the parrot, who'd
perform tricks at the table for rewards of pats of butter.Rivera, who possessed a gargantuan
appetite, the master bedroom was located off the dining room.Above the headboard is a painting of a dead child (Frida was unable to
bear children) and at the foot of the bed a photo assemblage of Stalin,
Lenin, Marx, Engels and Mao (both Riveras flirted with communism).There have been numerous publications on Frida, and she has
been the subject of at least three documentaries and one feature film.Riveras lived
in the 1930s (Diego Rivera at Altavista, across the street from the San
Angel Inn restaurant) in neighboring San Angel."Frida Kahlo: The Paintings"
(HarperCollins, 1991), both by Hayden Herrera.Portraitby Carlos Fuentes, Sarah M.Gale Randall, a frequent traveler to Mexico, is a resident of Palo Alto,
