Introducing the Exhibition "Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving"

Join Hillary Olcott, coordinating curator of Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving in celebrating the life and artistry of the iconic artist, Frida Kahlo, and learn more as we get a special behind-the-scenes look at the highly-anticipated exhibition. About the Exhibition: https://dey.ng/frida-kahlo Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving examines how politics, gender, trauma, and national identity influenced Kahlo’s diverse modes of creativity. The exhibition features highly personal items, which came to light in 2004 at her lifelong home, La Casa Azul (now Museo Frida Kahlo) in Mexico City—including approximately 30 photographs, 20 vibrant Tehuana costumes from her wardrobe, and personalized braces and prosthetics—alongside paintings and drawings by the iconic artist and photographs reflecting her unique self-fashioning. The exhibition is on view at the de Young museum through February 7, 2021.
