Leo Matiz, one of the most important photographers in Latin America, lived in Mexico in the The 1940s and was a close friend of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, whom he immortalized with his camera. The estate of Leo Matiz in collaboration with the conservators of the artist's clothes was inspired by these vibrant traditional Mexican dresses to color the portraits that Leo Matiz took of Frida in the happy moments of her life. The estate used the original black and white negatives in combination with the art of coloring photos by hand, a technique which emerged in the nineteenth century, to create this limited edition set of images, capturing the spectacular hues of Frida’s everyday clothing. Frida Kahlo's wardrobe remained hidden for fifty years with about 300 outfits revealed to the public in 2004. These intimate colored portraits allow viewers a glimpse of the culture of Mexico in the forties and the intimacy of the friendship of Frida through the lens of Leo Matiz, who captured her artistic expressive force. These images are also an attempt to temporize, with sophisticated technical procedures, an homage to the art of color photography, capturing its vivid tones the regional clothing of the great Mexican, and universal painter Frida Kahlo.
