Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera at MoMA

This Spring, renowned Mexican artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera are being celebrated by the Museum of Modern Art in a dual exhibition. 'Frida and Diego: The Last Dream,' looks at how Kahlo and Rivera represented a shift in the development of Mexican identity, art, and culture in the early 20th century. The show is presented in conjunction with the Metropolitan Opera, which is presenting 'El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego,' an opera debuting this Spring that explores the relationship between Rivera and Kahlo through a fictional narrative. MoMA worked with the opera's set designer Jon Bausor to create unique setting for the art on view. Bausor discusses the process for designing this exhibit alongside Beverly Adams, MoMA curator of Latin American Art. 'Frida and Diego: The Last Dream' is on view through September 12.
