Frida Kahlo
Because of her steady pain, Kahlo turned to surrealistic painting
to express her agony. Ironically, when Kahlo first began to paint,
she had never heard of surrealism and had no idea that her own
work was part of that genre.
No photograph can do justice to Frida Kahlo's actual works of art.
Be sure to check local art galleries for any Mexican, Woman, and/or Surrealistic art shows
that usually display some of Kahlo's work.
A few years ago, Rose and I where fortunate enough to see several of Frida's paintings during a
showing of surrealistic artists at the U.C. Berkeley art museum. In addition, we viewed more of
her work at a recent Kahlo art display at the San Francisco's Mexican Art Museum.
