Frida Kahlo

Mexican artist Frida Kahlo is remembered for her self-portraits, pain and passion, and bold, vibrant colors. She is celebrated in Mexico for her attention to Mexican and indigenous culture and by feminists for her depiction of the female experience and form.

"I paint myself" is a completely revealing phrase, not only because it refers us to the work of the artist, but to the character herself, that is, who Frida Kahlo is and was. The exhibition highlights the three pictorial genres developed by Frida: portraits, self-portraits and still lives.
