When Frida Kahlo married Diego Rivera, Diego was 42 years old, and 300 pounds; Frida was 22 years old,and just 98 pounds. Her mother did not approve of the union and did not attend the wedding ceremony. She said that Diego was too old, too fat and worse yet he was a Communist and an atheist. She described the marriage as "between an elephant and a dove." On one of Diego's frequent visits to the Kahlo home, Frida's father took Diego aside and said: "She is a devil". "I know" Diego replied. Although Frida lived in the shadow of Diego, and shared his ideals, she created a painting entirely personal, metaphorical and naive derived from her exalted sensibility. The Quote Book Frida and Diego is anthology of the important phrases of Frida and Diego. It provides their thoughts on topics ranging from love and art to death and revolution. This carefully researched and edited collection of quotations provides insight into their philosophy on a variety of topics.
