The talk on art emphasizes here the life of Frida Kahlo, her personal and penetrating paintings, and the role she played in the Central American and European art world.
In addition, we will taste wines from top houses in Argentina and Chile, intense and full-bodied, made with South American passion.
Frida Kahlo, art icon from Mexico
Frida Kahlo’s short life and her strikingly colorful and symbolic works guarantee passion and personal expression. The many self-portraits and paintings show a dramatically hard life, but also a courageous and powerful woman with political ideals who wanted to build a new homeland based on the pure indigenous Mexico of the past. She was famous in her country at the end of her life and became world famous after her death.
South American ‘terroir’
Just as we know the term ‘expression’ in the visual arts, we know the ‘expression’ of wine, where we speak of ‘terroir’: the combination of climate, soil and winemaker’s skills, which leads to a wine with a specific and special character. In Argentina and Chile, the two countries that predominate in South America in terms of wine export, more and more attention is being paid to this concept, which is reflected in the high quality of the wines.
