What can we learn about Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera in this portrait she created? Frida was intentional about her image and emphasized different aspects of her identity in her many self-portraits. Here, she's depicting herself as Rivera's partner. Let's explore: 🖼️ Scale: Notice how small Kahlo portrays herself in comparison to Rivera (take a look at their shoes!) 🔍 Detail: Even though Kahlo was a painter herself, she shows Rivera holding paintbrushes and a palette. In our audio guide for this artwork, Bay Area artist Amalia Mesa-Bains (dr_amalia_says) says, "In many ways, I think she was still holding on to him—as the painting sort of indicates—to anchor herself." 📍 See Kahlo's work on Floor 2 [Frida Kahlo, "Frieda and Diego Rivera," 1931, Albert M.
