"I have had two accidents in my life - the streetcar crash and Diego Rivera."
To celebrate
the 100th
anniversary of Frida
Kahlo's birth, the largest ever exhibition
of her work is taking place. Frida has been the subject of or inspiration for
movies (most recently, this lovely
one, although not without some controversy),
books (this biography
is quite good), a postage
stamp, and a brand of tequila
(more controversy). People have been interested in her socialist politics and
possible victim
status. There is an online
fan club. She was also featured
in Smithsonian Magazine. If anything, Frida was always outspoken.
