Meeting Diego Rivera<\/h2>\n

As I mentioned in the post about her early years, Frida Kahlo joined el<\/strong> Partido Comunista Mexicano\u00a0<\/strong>(the Mexican Communist Party) and befriended activists like Italian-American photographer Tina Modotti. It was at one of Modotti’s parties that she was introduced to fellow artist Diego Rivera. Several years prior, she met him briefly while he was painting his first mural at her school. Called La Creacion<\/strong> (Creation), it covered a thousand square feet and featured religious motifs.<\/p>\n

Frida Kahlo comenz\u00f3 a pintar despu\u00e9s del horrible accidente de autob\u00fas<\/strong> (Frida Kahlo started painting after the horrible bus accident). She asked Rivera to judge some of her artworks, and he encouraged her to continue painting. A budding romance emerged between the two artists, even though he was 20 years her senior. The two were married on August 29, 1929, in the Coyoacan neighborhood of Mexico City.<\/p>\n
