FRIDA KAHLO IN AMERICA

This riveting talk includes slides of Frida Kahlo’s art depicting her moods, her inspiration and her observations. Author Celia Stahr’s book, brings new clarity to Kahlo’s life: Frida's flamboyance, her spectacular attire, her rising celebrity and her exceptional talent. Doctor Stahr’s primary goal is to show that Frida’s “creative awakening” occurred in the United States, where she formed key relationships and made some of her most important work. Kahlo's art was direct and ambiguous, erotic, androgynous, surrealist and mythic.
