Fridamania

Her exciting life decorated artistic success is tarnished by terrible events, and then the force of her character battling spirit, passionate, who has brought to loving without limits and betray: charming, damned, marked by an unusual destiny and cruel that has involved the nature of a woman, in all the meanings of the term; her paintings, her clothes, her hairstyle, and all of her strong colors, without half-tone, have contributed to capture the attention on her, since the eighties with the ascent of the Neomexicanism and the triumph of figurative language inspired by the Mexican culture, and then continuing in the nineties, when the icon became 'celebrities' and Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek competed for the part In the film about his life; it became the woman-symbol of the feminist movement around the world, being was she a pioneer of the movement and a rebel to the typical costumes of the age, in the role of wife that tries to emerge from the bulky figure of the husband-artist, Diego Rivera.
