Fabulous Frida.


It's hard to view Frida Kahlo's art without also talking about her life. When you ask people about Frida, they often talk about her marriage to Diego Rivera, her lack of space between her eyebrows, her communist ties, or, if that person is my husband (or most men, really), the bio-pic where Salma Hayek shows her boobies.

But her art is incredible. Beautiful, poignant and incredibly raw paintings that may be biographical but also can speak to many of us.
