The new exhibition, which opens on Aug. 18, tells the life story of Frida Kahlo using her work and images of her created by friends and loved ones.
We're in the midst of our summer membership campaign, and we have until August 25 to raise $5,500. Your contributions are an investment in our election coverage – they help sustain our newsroom, help us plan, and could lead to an increase in freelance writers or photographers. If you value our work, please make a contribution today to help us reach our goal.
“I think that it’s unusual,” Canterbury says. “So many exhibitions concentrate on the obvious, the same. They don’t always go beneath, or they’re not always looking at her from other perspectives.” One “misleading” item Kahlo offered was that she was born in 1910 rather than her actual birth year, 1907. This was done to associate her with the Mexican Revolution, which began in 1910. While this birthdate isn’t true, it does speak to Kahlo's strong opinions on decolonization, a theme that comes through in much of her work.
The more vulnerable work on display comes from moments of trauma in Kahlo’s life. From a gruesome trolley accident that almost killed her in her youth to a sketch that depicts one of her abortions, finding inspiration in hardship is a running theme.“We want you to see a woman who went through so many things in life, but became a symbol of resilience,” said Dr. Augustin Arteaga, the DMA’s director and co-curator ofis unique in that it includes every artistic technique Kahlo used over her life.
Tickets for the exhibition will be $20, and guests can upgrade their experience to include special cafe menu items for $35. Those who opt for the meal can choose between a horchata or a paloma and churros or elote. Kahlo-inspired merchandise, including books, prints and wares designed by Mexican artisans, are already available at the DMA’s gift shop.will run Aug. 18 through Nov. 17 at the Dallas Museum of Art.
