Die Farben der Frida Kahlo
Grün, Weiß, Rot sind die Farben der mexikanischen Fahne. Aber Mexiko ist mehr. Die Farben Mexikos sind voller Kraft, bunt und positiv. So wie auch Frida Kahlo ihr Leben trotz ihrer gesundheitlichen Probleme lebte und liebte. Kräftiges Blau, Rot, Grün und vor allem Gelb. Farben, die eine besondere Ausstrahlung haben, kontrastreich und voller Lebensfreude. Leuchtendes Gelb und warmes Orange spiegeln die Sonne und Wärme Mexikos wieder. Zu den Farben schrieb Frida Kahlo in ihr Tagebuch: Grün: warmes und gutes Licht. Rötlich Violett: aztekisch. Die lebendigste und älteste Farbe. Braun: Farbe von „Mole“, des vergehenden Blattes. Erde. Gelb: Wahnsinn, Krankheit, Angst. Teil der Sonne und der Freude. Kobaltblau: Elektrizität und Reinheit, Farbe der Liebe. Schwarz: nichts ist schwarz, wirklich nichts. Blattgrün: Blätter, Traurigkeit, Wissenschaft. Ganz Deutschland hat diese Farbe Grüngelb: noch größerer Wahnsinn und Geheimnis Alle Phantome tragen Anzüge dieser Farbe (..) oder zumindest Unterwäsche. Dunkelgrün: die Farbe schlechter Nachrichten und guter Geschäfte. Marineblau: Ferne. Auch Zärtlichkeit kann dieses Blau haben. Magenta: Blut? Nun ja, wer weiß Frida Kahlo Where can the original paintings of Frida Kahlo be seen ?
47 originals can be seen in museums around the world, 11 of them are in museums in the US. 34 originals are in Mexico, the largest collection of Frida Kahlo paintings is in the Dolores Olmedo Museum in Mexico City. According to the NY Times, Ms. Olmedo “said that she bought her 25 Kahlo paintings -- for which she paid only $1,600 -- because Rivera begged her to do so to make sure that an important part of his wife's work remained in Mexico under one roof. ''Otherwise I would not have done it,'' Mrs. Olmedo said.” (1), and she added ''I was never a friend of Frida Kahlo,'' Mrs. Olmedo conceded in an interview with The New York Times, in which she referred to the artist's bisexuality. ''Frida Kahlo liked women. I liked men.'' (1). Finally the NY Times added: “As the artists' reputations -- and the prices for their work -- rebounded, art critics and intellectuals began to resent Mrs. Olmedo's huge hoard of Riveras and Kahlos and her power over the artists' legacies. She was accused of having grossly underpaid for her collection. Stories swirled that a jealous Mrs. Olmedo was intent on sabotaging Kahlo's legacy.” (1). Today the collection of Frida Kahlo paintings from the Olmedo collection is travelling the world, currently it can be seen in Paris and, later in 2014, in Rome. 62 original Frida Kahlo are in private collections and 11 are in the wonderful Gelman collection which is also touring the world, currently this collection is shown in Denmark.

According to the story of the Lady of Guadalupe, Mary spoke in the Nahuatl language when she appeared to the young man. In the Frida Kahlo exhibition the Virgen de Guadalupe is shown in two retablos and in one original painting used to decorate the kitchen of Frida. Author: Dr. Mariella Remund.
