Frida Kahlo Reconsidered
1:00–2:00 p.m., Horchow Auditorium
Although Frida Kahlo’s story is well known, we know less about the forces that shaped her life and creative force that began before she was born.
Join Dr. Salomon Grimberg, author of several books on Frida Kahlo’s life and work, as he discusses her developmental history to explain how the iconographic sources of her self-portraits and still lifes emerge from her identification with pre-Hispanic and Catholic religion.
