Frida Kahlo - PAINting
31. August 2010, 16:58:30 unter Artrooms, Austria, Bank Austria Kunstforum, English, Exhibitions, German, Interviews, Museums, Podcasts, Portraits, Video, ViennaFrida Kahlo’s work oscillates between self stylizing and radical authenticity, relentlessly facing the question of her female identity and at the same time touching the search for identity of an entire nation.
Kahlo’s Retrospektive can be seen at the Bank Austria Kunstforum from 9.09.2010 till 5.12.2010.
