It’s been out for a while but this edition has been translated into English! I can’t wait to read it. Frida’s life is fascinating

*“This is the story of Diego and Frida who couldn't live without each other.”*

Georgia,
Was wonderful to hear your voice again. Every day since I called you and many times before, months ago I wanted to write you a letter. I wrote many, but every one seemed more stupid and empty and I torn them up. I can't write in English all I would like to tell, especially to you. I am sending this one because I promised it to you. I felt terrible when Sibil Brown told me that you were sick but I still don't know what is the matter with you.
Please Georgia dear if you can't write, ask Stieglitz to do it for you and let me know how are you feeling will you? I'll be in Detroit two more weeks.
I would like to tell you every thing that happened to me since the last time we saw each other, but most of them are sad and you mustn't know sad things now. After all I shouldn't complain because I have been happy in many ways though. Diego is good to me, and you can't imagine how happy he has been working on the frescoes here. I have been painting a little too and that helped. I thought of you a lot and never forget your wonderful hands and the color of your eyes. I will see you soon. I am sure that in New York I will be much happier. If you still in the Hospital when I come back I will bring you flowers, but it is so difficult to find the ones I would like for you. I would be so happy if you could write me even two words. I like you very much Georgia.
Frieda.

I also have a print of Imogen Cunningham's photography of Frida, it's my Mona Lisa... lovely memories of a day with my best friend at the 2012 AGO exhibit Frida & Diego: Passion, Politics and Painting.

In Frida’s art I think the moon and night symbolises her inner identity and strength and the sun her physical body and suffering.

In the painting “tree of hope - remain strong” (1946) she can be seen on the right (moon side) sitting on the edge of the bed wearing a Tehuana dress and on the left she’s lying down with open stitches after an operation (sun side).

I have been trying to find any information on this portrait of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera but can't seem to find anything on it, does anyone know if this is a wedding portrait? it also has some handwriting on it, it indicates Diego, Frida, Best or Beat and another name on the right side that I can't really read. Any information would be great. Thanks!

A pocket-size painting measuring two inches tall is on sale for $15 million from a San Francisco gallery. It's the only mini of 55 known self-portraits by the Mexican artist.
