Frida Kahlo Centenary
Posted by jessica
In honor of the Mexican artist’s 100th birthday, the home-turned-museum of
Frida
Kahlo
and husband
Diego Rivera
unveils a collection of photos, drawings and other personal items today. Read
yesterday’s
Washington Post
story
here. Find more articles on Kahlo’s birthday celebration

Since a portion of the items—found in a trunk and unused bathroom three years ago—includes puppets and a puppet theater, we found it fitting to share an image of Anne’s Frida doll that lives at her desk. And check out Anne and Sarah’s mesh tributes to the tortured artist, which they picked up in Albuquerque while attending the International Association of Pastel Societies convention in May.
“I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.” —Frida Kahlo
