B(2017·山西省适应性考试)If Frida Kahlo (1907－1954) is today one of the best­known and most popular figures of 20th­century Mexican art, it is undoubtedly because of her personality and the originality of a body of works. Her work is, above all, the expression of a life — a tragic and stormy life, one that challenged all conventions.The mere mention of her name excites enthusiasm and admiration, but her work is rarely exhibited, and has not been shown in France for fifteen years. The selection to go on show at the Musée de l'Orangerie includes major works by the artist, with masterpieces from the Museo Dolores Olmedo.The life and work of Frida Kahlo cannot be separated from those of her companion Diego Rivera (1886－1957). Together they became figures of legend (传奇), and both have a place in the pantheon of 20th­century Mexican artists. Famous for his large wall paintings, Rivera's easel paintings, drawings and prints, which form a large p art of his artistic production, are less well­known to the public in Europe. The exhibition aims to trace his artistic career from the early Cubist images, revealing his links with the Paris artists whose works are a key element in the Orangerie collection s, to the paintings that established him as the founder of the 20th­century school of Mexican art. His travels throughout Europe influenced his vision and his skills without ever distancing him from his roots, thus confirming his place in history as the founder of the nationalist school.The exhibition devoted to the legendary couple Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo presents their works together, as if to confirm the impossibility of their divorce that was in fact finalised but reconsidered after just one year apart. It also gives us a better view of their respective artistic worlds, so different and yet so complementary (互补的), through the deep­rooted attachment they shared to their country.【解题导语】本文为说明文，介绍了墨西哥一对夫妻艺术家的传奇人生和旷世作品。
