DENVER (CBS4) – A new exhibition celebrating the work of influential artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera opens at the Denver Art Museum on Sunday, examining the Mexican Modernism movement after that country’s revolution. The work of other trailblazers, local artists, and pieces in the museum’s collection will also be a part of the show.

“Frida and Diego were at the center of the circles of influence,” said Becky Hart, the Vicki and Kent Logan Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Denver Art Museum. “It was this confluence of ideas and support that caused Mexican Modernism to flourish.”

The exhibition will have 150 pieces, including more than 20 works of art by Kahlo, a rare opportunity for people in Colorado to see in person. Many of the paintings come from the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection. This is a traveling show but the DAM team added to it, creating a unique experience in Denver.
