absorbing slideshow on Diego Rivera creating mural

[laconstance]

Which photo, JESM? The one that really captivated me was the newspaper picture of Frida with Diego's assistant. She is wearing a classic all-silver Navajo "squash blossom" necklace. Though she was, of course, always fond of ethnic clothing and jewelry, I don't believe she ever traveled in the American Southwest (Arizona or New Mexico) where such things were available from trading posts and Fred Harvey stores along the Santa Fe Railroad. I'd love to know the story of how she came by that necklace!
