-The way she broke taboos, the way she broke the norm was completely revolutionary and transgressive.

-She doesn't respect things that should be respected, like birth... blood, miscarriages.

-She made no concessions about her art.

-She was strong and ambitious and answered to no one.

But she was also driven and tormented by love.

She said, "I love Diego more than I love my own life."

He's dodged about from country to country.

So here he is -- Trotsky landing at Tampico with his wife.

-Leon Trotsky arrives to Mexico in 1937, and Frida actually goes to meet him.

-Leon Trotsky was a Russian revolutionary, second only to Vladimir Lenin, and in the post-Lenin rivalry with Stalin, he ultimately lost out.

-Stalin had Trotsky expelled from the country, so Trotsky went from country to country to country without a home for many years.

-He really has no place to go, and there's a sort of desperate attempt by his followers throughout the world to find a safe place for him.

♪♪ Security is an essential issue.

This is a man who is clearly been hunted by Stalinists throughout the world.

And Diego Rivera is the most famous Trotskyist in Mexico.

And so because of the stature of Diego Rivera, bringing him home to Frida's house makes a lot of sense.

[ Dog barking ] Trotsky arrived at a very interesting moment in Frida Kahlo's life.

-You know, it seems that the affair went on for years, too.

Like, it wasn't just a short fling.

What's amazing, though, to me, about Frida, ultimately, is that she comes around and embraces her sister and forgives her.

And she also forgives Diego.

♪♪ -"Deep down, you and I love each other very much.

And even if we go through countless affairs, we shall always love each other.

All these things that have happened and happened again for the seven years we've lived together... and all the rages that I've gone into have only led me to understand better that I love you more than my own skin."

-She always seemed to forgive Rivera, but I think what Frida did was began to have love affairs of her own.

-Trotsky is somebody she admired because he was a survivor.

He was a revolutionary.

So because she's attracted to his level of intelligence, why not become closer to Trotsky?

-If Diego Rivera crosses a line, it's with her sister, right?

Nothing hurts her more than that.

And if she crosses a line in return, it is sleeping with his political mentor.

♪♪ -André Breton was the founder, basically, of surrealism, in terms of an artistic movement.

♪♪ So this guy is the big deal.

And, of course, when she finds out that he's coming to Mexico to meet Trotsky, she prepares herself through her work.

♪♪ She did a self-portrait of her, which she gave away to Trotsky to make sure this was hanging at his office at the Blue House, knowing that would be the first painting Breton himself saw.

And Breton falls enchanted.

-I have, for long, admired the self-portraits by Frida Kahlo de Rivera that hangs on the wall of Trotsky's study.

But my surprise and joy was unbounded when I discovered that her work has blossomed forth into pure surreality.

♪♪ -She's sort of calculating in terms of her art, right, because she is a voracious reader of other people's styles.

An absolute original, but she is aware of the things that are going on internationally, and, you know, incorporates them and makes them her own.

-She excelled to make an impact on Breton.

The paintings are totally surrealist in their proposal, in their language.

And one of these paintings is the most surrealist work Frida did, which is "What Water Gave Me" from 1938.

Which is not only a very interesting painting from the perspective of Frida's own position as a woman artist, but the way she perceives unconsciousness and portrays it in the painting.

And, of course, "What Water Gave Me" is a self-portrait, but it is a self-portrait seen through the eyes and the ideas of surrealism... which, of course, had a huge impact on André Breton.

He was convinced that Frida was the most surrealist artist that he had ever encountered.

[ Jet engine idling ] -"I have never had an exhibition before.

I was always shy and afraid to show my things.

The first time in my life I sold a work was a few weeks ago."

-She, in 1938, returns on her own to New York.

Not as Diego Rivera's wife, but she comes to have her first solo exhibition at the Julien Levy Gallery.

-Julien Levy was the most outspoken representative of surrealist artists in New York.

And, of course, André Breton decides he wants to write the presentation for Frida's show.

-Frida Kahlo goes to New York to have the show at the Julien Levy Gallery, and this is Frida's opportunity to really break into an international stage.

And, of course, having the patronage of André Breton is a big deal.

♪♪ -Who else could you think of a woman artist being able to do this?

In a note on her exhibition, surrealist Breton ended by describing her painting as "a ribbon around a bomb."

I mean, she was nobody.

She was the wife of Diego Rivera.

And here she comes along.

"I'm a Mexican, modern woman artist, showing her work in New York."

♪♪ So it's a huge moment for Frida Kahlo.

She's there, yes, of course, because of all these connections she and Rivera had, but it's her own work.

And the quality of her painting, it talks for her.

♪♪ -Her first solo exhibition -- November 1st to the 15th, so just two weeks.

♪♪ She shows 25 paintings.

♪♪ And it includes some of the most shocking.

♪♪ -This was way ahead of what any other woman artist was capable of wanting to show to the public.

♪♪ -She loved having a show, and I think a lot of things sold, and she got a nice write-up in Time magazine, which is every artist's dream at that point.

-Frida has a great success in New York.

She's commented in magazines like Time, like Vogue magazine.

She's very well-received.

Some of her paintings are purchased.

-She met all kinds of people, and everybody loved her.

And at that point, she was having a love affair with Nick Muray, the photographer who took such great photographs of her.

♪♪ -Nickolas Muray was a very famous photographer, and he was one of the first who started doing color photographs with the very special personalities.

♪♪ Frida and Nickolas were lovers, and it lasted for a long while.

-I think she found in Nickolas Muray a friend who supported her, a lover, intelligent, prominent, well-connected.

I also think he fell in love with her.

♪♪ -You know, it's not a coincidence that Nickolas Muray becomes her lover.

He is a pioneer of color photography, and that was something she was good at -- posing for photographs, striking a pose, performing identities in front of the camera.

So when you see this series, they're doing it together, right?

They're collaborating, and it's magic.

I love this one, the red rebozo one, because she writes to him, "You will always be under my magenta rebozo, on the left side near my heart."

♪♪ -You can see by the photos that Nickolas Muray took of Kahlo how devoted he was to her image.

♪♪ But even these photos, if you look at them in a more critical perspective, they were kind of Hollywood style.

You can't see the real Kahlo through Nickolas Muray's photographs.

Frida was a woman, more complex, more complicated.

The way Muray portrayed Kahlo was just a fraction of her personality.

♪♪ ♪♪ For the opening of Frida's exhibition, Rivera and Kahlo had prepared a very careful list of who should be invited and why.

Rivera had considered that she should invite Clare Boothe Luce, who was editor of Vanity Fair, a woman with huge connections worldwide.

So you see again that the two accomplices, Rivera and Kahlo, are preparing the scenario.

Now, Clare Boothe Luce specifically requests from Kahlo to make a painting, a portrait of Dorothy Hale.

Dorothy Hale was a dear friend of Clare Boothe Luce, who had recently passed away.

♪♪ -Dorothy Hale was a not-that-successful actress, but she was a very good actress.

She died by jumping out of the Hampshire House on Central Park South.

♪♪ -Frida Kahlo writes a letter to Diego in which she explains what she's going to do in terms of composition.

♪♪ -"I think about death very often.

I do not know what I would do if I were told I had one hour to live.

I imagine that if I were dying I would be thinking of Diego."

♪♪ -When Clare Boothe Luce got it, she couldn't stand it.

♪♪ She was sort of angry that Frida had made that kind of an image.

It wasn't what was intended.

And she was appalled.

♪♪ -She can't make a conventional portrait.

She has to do something convincing, in terms of her own needs as an artist.

♪♪ Frida Kahlo cared about what she had painted there.

♪♪ She made no concessions about her art.

♪♪ -"The only thing I know is I paint always what passes through my head without any other consideration."

"Dieguito, I need you so much, my darling."

♪♪ "There are moments when I feel like going back to Mexico more than anything else.

I need you as I need air to breathe."

♪♪ -In Mexico, things were not so good for Diego Rivera.

♪♪ -Diego is an unemployed artist at this time.

In fact, in most of the government, muralist projects have been abandoned.

-And his relation with Trotsky starts to deteriorate very quickly.

♪♪ -Trotsky says to Diego Rivera, "You're a great painter.

You're one of the world's best.

But you're a child when it comes to politics."

This happened over and over again, evidently, and Diego Rivera finally had enough of it and said, "I'm done.

I'm out.
