ON VIEW
Several weeks remain to visit the Denver Art Museum exhibition “Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and Mexican Modernism,” a traveling show that explores the Mexican modernism movement through various artistic mediums. Timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the end of the Mexican Revolution, the exhibition explores themes of independence and national identity through more than 150 post-revolution artworks by Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and their contemporaries, including Lola Álvarez Bravo, Gunther Gerzso, María Izquierdo and Carlos Mérida. Highlights include seven of Kahlo’s selfportraits; Mérida’s bold, geometric works, including Festival of the Birds; and Rivera’s original works, including his beloved Portrait of Natasha Gelman (right). Also on view are large displays of Rivera’s iconic fresco murals, politically charged works of public art commissioned by the post-revolution government to educate, inspire and reunify Mexico’s population. The exhibition closes January 24. denverartmuseum.org

WHO: Interior designer Lindsay Hendrix, principal of Denverbased Hi-Luxe Interiors, prides herself on helping clients finetune their unique aesthetics in a sophisticated, put-together way. When it comes to her style, she’s like a kid in a candy shop. “I love midcenturymodern design and think that style can go with just about anything,” she says, “but I also love Asian design and classic farmhouse elements. Maybe you could call that eclectic?”
where she shares the products and makers she discovers every day while sourcing furnishings and accessories from around the world.
WHAT: Hendrix uses her feed to share spaces that spark her creativity and design ideas from her completed residential projects. It’s also a treasure trove of decor finds from Hendrix’s Hi-Luxe Boutique, an online shop
IN HER WORDS: “The purpose of my feed is to inspire. When someone tells me that they saw a post from my Instagram account that they loved, or that they want to model their new space around, that’s a win in my book.”
WHY: Hendrix is a self-described sucker for neutral furniture pieces layered with colorful, texture-rich accents (think mintgreen walls, vibrant decorative tiles, and even a bit of macramé), and you will be too after browsing her feed filled with light and lively rooms. There’s a bit of drama to be found here, too, from sweeping murals to high-contrast color combinations.
