Frida Kahlo is one of my favorite artists and person of intrigue. I wish I could interview her about love. Her relationship with Diego Rivera seemed full of passion and heartbreak.
Here is a note written to Diego from Frida found on Letters of Note. Translation beneath.
Translation:
Diego, my love,
Remember that once you finish the fresco we will be together forever once and for all, without arguments or anything, only to love one another.
Behave yourself and do everything that Emmy Lou tells you.
I adore you more than ever. Your girl, Frida
(Write me)

I think Diego routinely ignored the “behave yourself” part in his correspondences with Frida.
