TIL Frida Kahlo had an affair with Trotsky while he was staying with her and Diego Rivera...

and around the same time, Andre Breton came to Mexico City, where they composed a manifesto for #art against fascism, capitalism, and Stalinism : marxists.org/subject/art/lit_c

(and neither Frida nor Trotsky signed it; it's attributed to Trotsky and Breton, but it was Rivera and Breton whose names are on it)

and it's a glorious document that Breton took back to Europe to open chapters of the International Federation of Independent Revolutionary Art <en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifest>

but it didn't last very long.

In the spirit of continuous revolution, is it time for the Next International Federation of Independent Revolutionary Art ?

In honor of Mexican Independence Day, I’d like to introduce you to painter/activist Frida Kahlo.

In her art she focused on inclusivity, culture, and indigenous rebellion against colonialism.

My favorite quote from her, which taps into deep regions of self-awareness and human consciousness:

“I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.”

"What I Saw in the Water or What the Water Gave Me," by Frida Kahlo, 1938.

Frida painted herself in the bath. The right foot shows a bleeding sore between the deformed big toe and second toe. By the early 1940s, Frida would be in constant pain from her back and right foot. She would be forced to take to her bed and wear a series of body casts.
