this painting (above) by frida kahlo of herself and her husband, diego rivera, is pretty famous. his portraits of her (including the one below of himself and frida) aren't as well known. it's funny, i think, that he was the famous one when they met. his social and political work were very important then but they have been eclipsed over time by frida's deeply personal paintings.

these portraits by diego are part of a much larger mural.
