In our final episode on Frida Kahlo, we discuss her last decade of life. Coming on the heels of Trotsky's death, Frida and Diego decide to remarry after realizing what they meant to one another, if only for a time. Frida's painting skills peaked in the 1940s, reaching a new level of detail evident in “Rosita Morillo” and “Moses”, which led to national recognition as one of Mexico's finest painters. Her newfound esteem even landed her a teaching position at La Esmeralda, where Frida and the “Fridos” explored the world with an artist's eye. Her time as a teacher was cut short, however, when health issues arose. As her friends sat beside her in the hospital bed once again, they knew she didn't have long to live. In a final effort to celebrate Frida’s alegría, artists, poets, peasants, and rebels banded together for an exhibition that nearly broke down the doors of La Galería Contemporánea. Needless to say, when the party ended, she would spend her last years fighting death with a ferocity only Frida could muster. Tune in to hear the finale of Frida Kahlo! (Ep. 076)
