At the end of the 1930s, Carmen Corcuera, daughter of Pedro Corcuera and Guadalupe de Mier, married the French gallery owner Pierre Colle in Paris, something that Don Pedro did not like very much. However, Carmen faced her destiny alongside the man she loved: Pierre Colle, who founded the gallery that bears her name. On March 25, 1939, six months before the Second World War began, Pierre Colle mounted the first Frida Kahlo exhibition in his gallery located at 164 rue Faubourg Saint-Honoré, in Paris. Frida herself was able to travel and attend, leaning on Pierre Colle's arm and dressed in her long Tehuana petticoats that hid her sick leg since childhood. Frida caused a sensation with her hair braided with colored wool and flowers, to the point that Vogue magazine wanted to photograph her for its cover. That victory was no small feat!

Diego Rivera became jealous of his wife's fame.
This paradox is one of the most surprising ideas in network theory, economics, and transportation engineering. Developed by the German mathematician Dietrich Braess in 1968, it is counterintuitive because it contradicts common sense and expands critical thinking, like all respected paradoxes. Each car driver makes decisions in search of the path that minimizes his travel time and does what is rational for him, but the sum of those actions can produce a socially irrational result. Given the congestion, the construction of an expressway should mean greater fluidity, but as all motorists reason the same, the highway will attract many and saturate that route. Even though no one wants to create congestion, the sum of individual, supposedly rational, decisions does not produce socially optimal results, and the new apparently faster highway will end up being overloaded because everyone takes the shortcut, making it no longer a shortcut.
