Diego and Frida: Art and Architecture in San Ángel
Step into the intimate and iconic world of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo with a visit to their striking house-studio in San Ángel. Designed in 1931 by architect and artist Juan O’Gorman, this innovative construction is considered one of the first examples of functionalist architecture in Latin America. With its vibrant colors, modern lines, and connected studios, the space offers a powerful visual and conceptual expression of two of Mexico’s most legendary artists.
During the visit, we will explore Rivera’s personal collection, a selection of his works, and the preserved studio where he painted. We will also delve into the personal and creative lives of Rivera and Kahlo—their art, politics, contradictions, and profound cultural impact—providing essential context to better understand the legacy they left behind. Surrounded by the quiet, tree-lined streets of San Ángel, this experience brings together modern architecture, personal history, and Mexico’s artistic heritage.
