My cubist paintings are my most Mexican.
Never before had a woman put such agonizing poetry on canvas as Frida did
I did not know it then, but Frida had already become the most important fact in my life. And would continue to be, up to the moment she died, 27 years later.
To be an artist, one must . . . never shirk from the truth as he understands it, never withdraw from life
The rôle of the artist is that of a soldier of the revolution.
