Thank you for sharing your visit to this exhibition, she was a colorful artist. Love the quilt you made in honor of her, it’s beautiful.

Isn't it uplifting and motivating to learn about an artist's life, and what "made her tick"? Her work is certainly interesting, and I'm happy for you to find so much understanding and pleasure in her work. And especially to get to see an exhibit of it. No doubt it was a very special experience for you.

I am ashamed to say, and I had a college level art history class and didn't learn her story. Your blog and the inspiration you provide is always a gift. I'm forever learning something new from you and the background story you always provide.

So many artists create out of pain, despite the pain, because of the pain...? Your tribute quilt to her is fabulous. I like visiting museums the same way - sort of being on your own and then meeting up again.

And how incredibly lucky that you were there when the exhibit was on. Thanks so much for sharing this.

I’ve also read books about her life ((and seen the movie) but this exhibit really brings home not only the pain she suffered throughout her life but how she faced and overcame it with art. She also faced sexism in the art world, but refused to live in the shadow of her famous husband. She was a revolutionary artist, and remarkable woman.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04926328455712508539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259558187936840360.post-60271162677293279692021-09-15T11:06:33.785-04:002021-09-15T11:06:33.785-04:00Barb gracias por este reportaje maravilloso sobre ...Barb gracias por este reportaje maravilloso sobre Frida, Mis ahijadas, mi hermana y yo somos gran admiradoras de Frida<br />Saludosbelarminahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999617223755367241noreply@blogger.com
