The more than 90 pieces including newspaper clips, drawings, caricatures and photographs that make up the exhibition speak of the conversations, friendship relationships and the professional exchange that photographer Leo Matiz held not only with the Mexican muralists Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco (with whom he had a deep exchange of admiration and friendship) and David Alfaro Siqueiros but with intellectuals and artists in Mexico during the first half of the 20th century. He portrayed artists like Frida Kahlo, Manuel Rodríguez Lozano and Francisco Zúñiga and also became friends with a select group of diplomats, photographers and writers: Efraín Huerta, Pablo Neruda and Manuel Álvarez Bravo. He portrayed great personalities and stars of the Golden Age of Mexican cinema like María Félix, Dolores del Río, Mario Moreno "Cantinflas", Gloria Marín, Lupe Vélez, Agustín Lara, brothers Soler (Andrés, Domingo and Julián), Emilio "El Indio" Fernández, Gabriel Figueroa, Julio Bracho and Luis Buñuel.
