Frida Kahlo is a Mexican artist known for her self portraits, pain and passion, and bold, vibrant colours!! During our time in Mexico City, it was very disappointing when we weren't able to visit her home/museum because the hop on hop off bus we were on became bogged down in traffic, and by the time we reached the Blue House (Frida Kahlo's home), it was late and closed for the day!! So when we arrived in Phoenix and discovered her work was showing at the Heard Museum I was ecstatic! And it is the only showing in North America!! Her husband, Diego Rivera's work, was also included. This was a small showing because it came from a personal collection.
Frida Kahlo is celebrated in Mexico for her attention to Mexican and indigenous culture, and by feminists for her depiction of the female experience and form.
The museum has a nice restaurant where we had a lemonade and appetizer.
The next 5 pictures are done by Frida Kahlo.
