Well, hello there!! Last week, I just had to view this two gallery exhibit. The exhibit is of photos that tell the story of intentional famed artist, Frida Kahlo. This exhibit ha traveled the globe, reaching about fifteen countries, with Calgary being the first Canadian city to showcase this wonderful artist. Calms Hayek had portrayed her in the movie, Friday in 2000. Anyway, it was crazy busy when I had gone. If you get a chance to view this exhibit, I highly recommend that you do! The exhibit will be at Glenbow until May 21st. E dry first Thursday from 5 p.m. – 9 p.m. is free admission. Frida, like all artists, definitely lived a fascinating life. It was not dull at all.
About:

An exhibition by Frida Kahlo Museum – Casa Azul/Diego Rivera Museum; Banco de Mexico Fiduciario en el Fideicomiso Museos Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo’s distinctive, colourful self-portraits and extraordinary life have made her one of the most recognized artists of the twentieth century. Less well known is her special relationship with photography. Throughout her life, Kahlo meticulously collected over 6,000 photographs of herself and her loved ones as well as scenes of Mexican culture, politics, art, history and nature. The exhibition Frida Kahlo: Her Photos gives us the opportunity to better understand the woman behind the artist: her origins, her roots, her friendships and romantic relationships, her constant fight with her fragile health, her political tendencies, and the strong role that photography played in her life and work.
P.S. The featured photo, the only photo that was allowed to be taken, during this exhibit, is blurry. What can I do? I’m not the only one this has happened to.
