I have the feeling that for next generations, Frida Callow will be not exactly the great artist that she was.
I think that more than that, she will become kind of an image because in many cases I have asked to people who have a T-shirt, for example, and I asked them, tell me two paintings by Frida Kahlo.
And they really do not know.
They know the image, know the personality, the face, etc., but not Frida as an artist.
And I think that all this merchandising and products will in some way change the point of view of attention on Frida.
On the other hand, all this merchandising in a museum, I have noticed that people do not read the explications on the walls.
They just look to the things, to the objects, to the paintings.
So if you don't take the time to read the explanation why those things are in the context of a museum, then people can think that those objects are art also.
Well, my father passed away when he was 42 years old.
So we didn't have enough time to talk about Frida.
And at that time, Frida was not as famous as she becomes today.
And one of the stories I remember very well because it was like shocking.
It was this day that Frida and my father went to the cinema and they were in a line waiting to buy the tickets.
And the woman behind them started to laugh and to talk to her companion.
And she was saying something like, look, this ridiculous woman with flowers in the hair and the dress of Tijuana.
It's not a way to come to a cinema.
And we have to think about that because the way Frida used to dress, it was not common in Mexico City.
So she turned to the woman and slapped her on her face.
and said, whatever you have to say about me, you tell me in my face.
So my father was shocked about the situation.
