Team Up: Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera

Description

Mexico, the 1920s. The revolution is over and the country is rebuilding itself bit by bit, with two painters helping this revival through art. Diego Rivera, an established artist known for his murals, meets Frida Kahlo, a rising star in the art world and it is love at first sight. Their relationship is one of the greatest but most turbulent love affairs in art history. They painted each other, worked together and inspired each other for 25 years, and are probably the most legendary artistic couple of all time. A brand new series, Creative Partners/Team Up, celebrating the most iconic and important collaborations in history. From painters to singers, musicians, activists, athletes and trend setters, these books will show you how magic can happen when two talents meet, with accessible, easy-to-read text telling the stories of these partnerships and the brilliant creations they produced. This series pays tribute to sharing your talent with others, to achieving excellent together, and working as a team to create something special: behind every shining star, hides another one with potential to shine even brighter.
