Slide presentation by Benjamin McKendall, docent of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art exploring the work of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, whose work is now on view at the museum through September 28th. Kahlo began painting in 1926, while recovering from a near-fatal bus accident, and soon became captivated by the medium's expressive possibilities. Kahlo's folkloric style, influenced by Mexican popular art, and her fantastical imagery earned her recognition among the Surrealists, but her intriguing persona and unmistakable originality propelled her beyond the confines of a specific movement to become a leading figure in modern art. The MOMA exhibition, commemorating the centennial of the artist's birth, brings together paintings that span her career, along with a selection of her own collection of photographs, most of which have never been on public display. This program is free and open to all.
