"Frida Kalho in Casa Azul - Macondo Myth and Reality in Leo Matiz's Photographs" Bari - Italy
27 October 2017 | 15 January 2018The Museo Civico of Bari - Italy will exhibit over 50 original photographic portraits which Matiz made to his great friend Frida Kalho in the Casa Azul of Coyoácan, Mexico's old neighborhood, in the early 1940s. Matiz portrays a woman of intense life, full of passions, almost a creation by García Márquez, a rare combination of real and extraordinary. The encounter of the two, a fruitful artistic and friendship relationship, gave life to an aesthetic and evocative journey, embodied in a series of photographs depicting the painter in her daily life, in her home-country, in her neighborhood.
