I absolutely ADORE the work of Diego Rivera - i had a print of one of his paintings (some peasant farmers) on my bedroom wall throughout my student years. Not so keen on his wife's work (Frida Kahlo - just a bit too macabre for my taste, which is saying something as i really like the contemporary artist, Dominic Murphy)

Shocked It does look sinister and a bit scary, which I suppose is the attraction Laughter

Yes Selma Hayek - I saw it, it was quite a dark film but then she led a dramatic life so it's unavoidable really.
