“Frida & Diego: Passion, Politics, and Painting” which opened February 14, 2013, features some of the best examples of art from two central figures of Mexican modernism: Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. I’m a member of the High Museum of Art, so admission will be free for me when I check it out in the next couple of weeks. Not a member?
