The Inner World of Artist Frida Kahlo and the Outer World of Artist Rivera Diego



 by Irene Fantopoulos

Kahlo (1907-1954) and Diego (1886-1957), Mexican artists, husband and wife and major contributors to the art world in the first half of the twentieth century. 

Much of Diego’s work encapsulates the two revolutionary worlds that dominated his life: the Mexican Revolution from 1910 to 1920 and the Russian Revolution of 1917. While he is known mostly as a muralist, his art focused on rural Mexican life and his support of communism. He believed that labourers and peasants should be free from oppression, a nod to Karl Marx. He painted 200 murals for the Ministry of Education, Mexico City.

Autumn Colours Along the Humber Shores

By Irene Fantopoulos

Summer's final curtain call has set on Humber Shores. As always, the seasonal changes come abruptly with little warning other than a date on the calendar. As I look to the east, the angle of the setting sun makes the distant city sparkle, the light reflecting off the windows of buildings and skyscrapers along Toronto's skyline.
