The Life and Art of Frida Kahlo

In Person at the Library

Social activist, feminist, Mexican patriot, fashionista, and world-famous artist, Frida Kahlo was a survivor. Hear from Dan Rose about this unique and amazing woman, who’s still making news today.

Social activist, feminist, Mexican patriot, fashionista, and world-famous artist, Frida Kahlo was a survivor. Bedridden periodically as a child, adolescent, and adult, she overcame a life-altering disease and a devastating accident. In adulthood she endured psychological suffering. Through it all, she unflinchingly and dramatically portrayed herself on canvas and eventually became a world-famous painter. Her life was as bold, colorful, and unconventional as her art, both of which invited surprise from her admirers and detractors. Learn more about this unique and amazing woman, who’s still making news today.
