Frida Kahlo's Between the Curtains (Fig. 2) is just another example of how dedications can change the meaning of the piece. If you just take a look at her piece without knowing the title, you may think that she is dressed up to go somewhere, maybe even a funeral with the bouquet. She has a letter in her hand that could possibly indicate that she wants to give to someone or maybe even read the letter. While she is posed as a confident woman, there is a small hint of fear or unsureness in her face

paid artists to create some art that could teach people who could not read or write about Mexican history. Celebrating the Mexican culture of craft and the Mexico’s history was a key idea in Mexican muralism. The movement was led by Siqueiros, Diego Rivera, and José Clemente Orozco, also known as Los tres grandes.

He had a resolute intent to do what is right, true, and just, which made him the Archbishop that people remember and make movies about.
