Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera Houses/Studios (Mexico)

Designed by their friend, Juan O’Gorman - architect/painter. Home from 1934 - 1940. Rivera’s is the larger white box, while Kahlo's is the blue one.

I love how the two volumes abstractly capture the physical and maybe emotional relationship between this couple. The buildings are linked by a walkway, visually reflecting their joined but separate lives. I’m guessing the space between the buildings was not great enough and the cactus fence is a great touch.

Kahlo looks so unlike her typical depiction in this photo.
