Frida Kahlo
Schermerhorn trip to
the Philadelphia Museum of Art

Philadelphia Museum of Art

Frida Kahlo- Self-portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird, 1940Organized in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the artist's birth, Frida Kahlo is the first major Kahlo exhibition in the United States in nearly fifteen years. It presents over forty of the artist's most important self-portraits, still lifes, and portraits from the beginning of her career in 1926 until her death in 1954. Rendered in vivid colors and realistic detail, Kahlo's jewel-like paintings are filled with complex symbolism, often relating to specific incidents in her life. In her iconic self-portraits the artist continually reinvented herself.

More pictures coming soon.
