Mexico City - Scientists in Mexico City have found over 100 unknown drawings by the well-known artist couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.
The works were found in a secret room of the Casa Azul, the house that both Mexican painters once shared, which is now a museum, the daily La Jornada reported on Wednesday.
The drawings are part of an archive including documents and letters, the report said. Experts have been busy cataloguing the documents for a year.
The Kahlo Museum in the Coyoacan neighbourhood reportedly plans to announce the findings officially in late June.
Mexico is commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Kahlo (1907-1954) this year. The artist was born of a German father and a Mexican mother on July 6, 1907. |
