Happy Birthday Frida

fridaYesterday was Frida Kahlo’s 100th birthday. Today’s NY Times has an article and multimedia feature about a huge show featuring her work at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City.

While Frida’s painful self-portraits fascinate me, I like to think that it was on her good days that she turned to plants as the subject of her work.

See, for example, Still Life with Parrot. I also posted some other pictures here.

One thought on “Happy Birthday Frida”

  1. Thanks, Craig – we get the weekday NYTimes, but not Saturday and would have missed this. An odd coincidence – yesterday my husband decided to pull out the soundtrack from the movie ‘Frida’ and play it, something we do fairly frequently, but the timing is pretty interesting.
