This photograph is intriguing and inspirational. Does it document their first meeting? What did they talk about? Where was the picture taken? Mexico City? Paris? New York?
Josephine Baker and Frida Kahlo were uniquely 20th Century creations; artists and muses who were capable of taking advantage of the historical events of their time to be their true selves. The Great Migration and Paris between the world wars shaped Ms. Baker. Ms. Kahlo thrived in the freedoms provided to artists and middle class women by the Mexican Revolution.
What can we make of ourselves today? Can we be as bold as Frida and Josephine?
