"Guillermo and Frida were very close,
because he taught her everything about beauty,

but he also painted, mainly watercolor".

"In the end, she lived among passions,
but always true to herself; she said she loved Diego just like he was,

then she would have loved another Diego..."

another love of hers.

Amor a lo mexicano
“In fact, in this house (on Aguayo street)
was where she painted a ribbon held by two sparrows that reads:
“’the spongers’ inn’, because this is where everyone came to eat…
Frida loved sopecitos”.
