Arguably two of the most important artists of the twentieth century, Mexico’s\u00a0Diego Rivera and Frida<\/span> Kahlo<\/span> have left a rich\u00a0and colorful legacy to inspire generations to come. \u00a0Choosing art over a medical career when she began painting at age 18, Frida<\/span> Kahlo<\/span> remains a world renowned artist. Though her\u00a0work is attributed to the surrealist genre, she never considered herself as such.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Much\u00a0of her art\u00a0is comprised of painted self portraits as she admitted, “I paint myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best”. Her work has been commissioned all over the world and she is the first Hispanic woman to be featured on a U.S postage stamp. In 1939 while on exhibition in Paris, one of her paintings entitled “The Frame” was purchased by the Louvre Museum. Frida<\/span> Kahlo’s<\/span> creations\u00a0are strong and haunting and often\u00a0mirrored the passions of her real life,\u00a0making her a relevant symbol of the feminist movement as well as an enduring figure in our artistic consciousness.<\/p>\n

Frida<\/span> Kahlo’s<\/span> fellow painter, compatriot,\u00a0mentor, political ally and twice married partner, Diego Rivera is the other artist Checkworks<\/span> Inc. has highlighted in\u00a0this noteworthy campaign. Rivera married Kahlo<\/span> who is twenty years his junior after encouraging her art and becomming<\/span> a friend and admirer. However, Diego Rivera had been a magnificent, well-respected and controversial artist in his own right before\u00a0the union. He is most known for his murals depicting Mexican life and people. Some\u00a0work he rendered reflected\u00a0his own non-traditional political beliefs. On an occasion when Rivera was interviewed about his artistic expressions\u00a0he related “When art is true it\u00a0is one with nature…the secret of my best work is that it is Mexican”.<\/em><\/p>\n

Until the time of their deaths, both Frida<\/span> Kahlo<\/span> and Diego Rivera were tireless political activists committed to improving the lives of the common man. Though they were both born with a measure of privilege, they never lost sight of the desires of everyday people and endeavored through their art and in how they conducted their lives to \u00a0\u00a0make Mexico and the world for that matter, a better place to live, create and express ones self.<\/p>\n
