We spent the morning at Casa Azul a museum to artist Frida Kahl (born 1907 death 1954). I leaned a lot more about her and I was fascinated by her collections of objects. Her home is stunning architecture by Juan O'Gorman is filled with her collections, clothing, photos, pottery, art furnishings and more surrounded by a lovely garden. I love the use of terra cotta color which reminds me of the stone in our kitchen.
I knew she had suffered horrendous injuries in a bus accident when she was young but I was not aware her leg was first severely impacted but polio she contracted at 6 years old.
“The Frida Kahlo Museum (Spanish: Museo Frida Kahlo), also known as the Blue House (La Casa Azul) for the structure's cobalt-blue walls, is a historic house museum and art museum dedicated to the life and work of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. It is located in the Colonia del Carmen neighborhood of Coyoacán in Mexico City. The building was Kahlo's birthplace, the home where she grew up, lived with her husband Diego Rivera for a number of years, and where she later died in a room on the upper floor. In 1957, Diego Rivera donated the home and its contents to turn it into a museum in Frida's honor” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frida_Kahlo_Museum
