Artist Video: Peter Marin discusses Ofrendas (Video)
In 2019, the NCMA presented Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and Mexican Modernism from the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection. The exhibition displayed the paintings of two artists who became icons of the 20th century. To understand how Kahlo embodies this role, and the impact she has on the artistic community, we sat down with Peter Marin, an artist from Mexico City who created the Día de los Muertos ofrenda to Frida Kahlo as part of the exhibition.
