 Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, Dec. 1940, 2nd marrige On December 8th 1886, Diego María de la Concepción Juan Nepomuceno Estanislao de la Rivera y Barrientos Acosta y Rodríguez, known as Diego Rivera was born in Guanajuato. Diego had a twin brother: Carlos, who died two years after they were born. He was an artist larger than life who did everything without measures: the number of paintings, the number of women, the quantity of food, the collection of precolumbian artifacts... everything was big about Diego.
