women-loving-art:“She was like a vision. When I saw her face, her eyes, I thought she was from another world. Her eyebrows together were a swallow in mid-flight.I was still very much a young girl.

Leave.” And one day, I opened the door, and never returned.”— Chavela Vargas, about Frida Kahlo, in Chavela (2017). Photography of Frida Kahlo and Chavela Vargas, 1945, by Tina Modotti. -- source link
