Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera are now regarded as iconic figures in 20th century art history. Their work speaks of a fierce loyalty to, and pride in, Mexico; the ideals of the 1910 revolution; and a commitment to the conditions of the common man. Rivera is a socialist hero, famous for his large scale political murals depicting workers and class struggle. Kahlo is a feminist icon, whose self portraits present a challenging view of the female role, and address emotional issues of love, pain and heartbreak.
