Mexican artist Frida Kahlo painted mostly self-portraits. While in Mexico City, we wanted to visit a place where she lived and worked. Her Casa Azul or the Blue House is tastefully decorated and contains not only paintings but also many pre-Columbian artifacts that she and her husband Diego Riviera collected. The suffering of Frida's life is evident in her works. We were struck most by the fact that the painter had a life-long great affection for communism and Soviet leaders such as Stalin and Trotsky. The latter even lived in her house for over two years.
