The Relationship Between Frida Kahlo And Diego Rivera

Both of these paintings show the love and desire to hold on to ones heritage and family traditions which is extremely important in Hispanic families. Both with vivid colors and images. In Kahlo’s “Self Portrait on the Border Line Between Mexico and the United States”, even though she is a Mexican woman living in a non-Mexican country, she is able to accept both sides and hold on to her own Mexican heritage and culture which it seems she preferred. In Garza’s “Camas Para Sueños”(Beds for Dreams), Garza is showing the love and closeness she had with her sister and how her mother allowed them to dream and reach after those dreams as they kept

Born as Ray Mendoza on July 2, 1951, was born of Puerto Rican and Venezuelan descent. She was given the name Sylvia Rivera by a local community of drag queens and spent her career fighting for solidarity between transgender people, queer people of color, homeless people, and sex workers. Sylvia Rivera was one of the “street queens” living in New York, and is known as one of the most famous street youth who fought back during the police raid at Stonewall. Modern day, Rivera has come to personify the aspirations and flaws of the modern gay liberation movement.

God created marriage as a union between man and woman. A woman, while still having a mind of her own and control over her own life, is under the authority of her husband. This frightens some women, who fear oppression at the hands of their husbands. While it is true that some men abuse the system that God set up for man and woman, not all men act as such. The Bible states monogamy is what God laid down as a foundational law of marriage,

I think what I like the most the murals that he painted I liked how he

Frida was not only talented but she was also very intelligent. In 1922 she was one of only thirty-five female students to attend the most prestigious preparatory school in Mexico, Escuela Nacional Preparatoria or The National Preparatory School. While Frida read in three different languages and aspired to be a doctor she was a spirited and rambunctious student who ran with a gang of troublesome boys who called themselves "Los Cachuchas". The gang pulled pranks and got into all sorts of trouble, at one point she and her friends even lead a donkey into one of the rooms while class was in session. (Kettenman p. 11-12). It was at this school where Frida first met her future husband and life-long companion, Diego Rivera.

Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera's relationship did not start off immediately with love. Frida, happy with her new art talents, came to Rivera wanting his opinion on her artwork. Frida even told Rivera. "I have not come to flirt, and even if you are a woman chaser,I have come to show you my paintings." Diego was shocked and curious to know the confident young women who spoke to him in such a way.

Diego was an important factor in Frida´s Art, he was her husband and as a result he impacted aspects of her life, for example: positive emotions, as well as negative emotions, travels, abortions, support and infidelities. All these topics where expressed on Frida´s masterpiece paintings, without Diego her paintings would have not been the same. Here is a look back on Frida and Diego´s troublous relationship:

Benidalys Rivera is one of seven women to give birth while in the Western Massachusetts Regional Women’s Correctional Center in 2013. In 2013, Benidalys was convicted to serve two and a half years in Chicopee jail for trafficking cocaine. She started to have contractions in her cell, late in the evening. One of the male correctional officers immediately put shackles on her hands, and he left the shackles on her in the hospital labor room. He told Benidalys that he would take the off the shackles on her ankles when she reaches active labor. However, she never entered active labor and the shackles never were taken off. The doctors had to perform a caesarean section (Berg). Benidalys walked around the hospital “she felt embarrassed as nurses and other patients looked on” (Berg) while having only her assigned nurse for comfort. Benidalys took care of her infant for only two days before they had to separate. The infant, named E.J. taken with the biological father’s family, and Benidalys taken back to the institution. Growing up for two and a half years without visiting his mother because the father’s family lived far away from the prison (Berg). The Department of Corrections of each state needs to consider the well-being of incarcerated women and their children in order to prevent the poor upbringing of the children, to prevent repeat offenders, and to create laws protecting

Oneida’s fault lied in the fact that is was easily targeted by critics as an excuse to bypass conventional monogamy.

Alex Forrest is a young, single woman in her thirties who has an obsessive relationship with her one-night stand lover who is happily married. Alex is an editor for a publishing company. She leaves an impression of an independent, successful, emancipated and highly functional person. Alex’s psychological status can be best described through her relationship with Dan, her one night stand. Namely, after spending a weekend with Alex, Dan, otherwise a happily married man, distances himself from her.

A while back my uncle took my brother and me to a trip to the Museum of Contemporary of Art in San Diego. However, on that day, the museum had an event of Mexican heritage artist. I do not remember exactly all the details on that day, but fortunately, I do remember one painting I was able to remember, the “Flower Seller.” At the time, I could not understand why the picture had impact me and was the only one I can remember well. When I was young, I thought the young girl was decorating, but now I doubt she was decorating it. Today, I do not know what the girl is doing anymore. Is she about to carry it? What is in the background? Is she in a market or a field? And why is it that I remember this painting so well?

Josie struggled with dating Jacob Coote because he was eager to have intercourse with Josie but she wasn’t ready to give up her last piece of innocence to him. This left Josie with the thought that Jacob Coote was going to get inpatient and break up with her for not having intercourse. Lina Marchetta may have been trying to teach us that it can be hard to be in a relationship if both of you aren’t on the same page about something.

Being in a committed relationship can, at times, often lead to infidelity. To many, the temptation to pursue relations with someone else while being in a relationship is hard to resist. In Something Wild, Aubrey develops a sexual relationship with a regular, hard-working man named Charlie. Although that seems normal, we come to find she is still married to her husband Ray, a convicted felon. To top it off, Aubrey created an alter ego named Lulu as a way to hide her real identity from Charlie. In Cujo, Donna continues an on-going affair with her husband’s friend, Steve. No matter how in love a woman is with her significant other, she will become attracted to other people

Rivera remained a dominant force in the development of a National Art in Mexico throughout his life and left an impact on America’s concept of public art. He painted spectacular murals of Mexican history throughout the cities, towns, and villages (Fuentes, 1995). Rivera is also well known to the public for his stormy and turbulent romance with his wife Frieda Kahlo, who was also in the eyes of the public for her paintings and a sad and tragic life story. Rivera was twenty years older than Kahlo. They married when Kahlo was 22 and Rivera was 42. They met 1928 at the Office of the Secretariat of Public Education where Rivera was painting a mural and Frida Kahlo attended school. This is where Frida made him climb down his scaffold to give her his opinion and advice on one of her paintings. She told him she needed to be sure her work would be marketable because that was the only way she could support herself (Tibol, 1983, p. 3). Rivera never placed Frida among the surrealists (Tibol, 1983, p. 7). The Encarta Dictionary defines this as an artist that tries to represent the subconscious mind by creating imagery and ideas that seem to contradict each other. However some critics believe she definitely fell in this category.

In order to complete my research the socio historical context of my subculture I used three sources. The first source was a section of a book call The Polyamorists next Door: Inside Multiple-partner Relationships and Families and a database call This Is the Family I Chose: Broadening Domestic Partnership Law to Include Polyamory. After reading both of this writing, and other side sources they all stated the same information of how polyamory started and what influenced it. During the time that polyamory was starting, the social norm was a monogamous relationship between a man and a woman, but during the nineteenth and twentieth century there was various movements and sexual revolutions that happen, which went against this social norm and helped
