FRIDA KAHLO
was a Mexican-born Surrealist folk artist whose work is celebrated for being eblematic of Mexican and feminist culture. Arguably most well-known for her self-portaits, all of her work is remembered for its intense passion and her extensive use of color.

Kahlo described herself visually and verbally in many different ways but perhaps most prosaically as a “ribbon around a bomb.” LACMA’s exhibition hopes to convey this.
