Speaking of Frida Kalho…

Frida Kalho: Self-Portrait with Monkeys, 1943
In the Guardian today: an article about a three-course feast inspired by Frida Kahlo. The author, Andrew Gilcrist, writes:

“I’m in Mexico City with a Tate delegation just as the huge jacaranda trees are blooming purple and violet across its parks and boulevards – to follow in Kahlo’s footsteps ahead of Frida: The Making of an Icon, a show of more than 30 of her works at Tate Modern in London that seems destined to be a summer blockbuster, adding yet more fuel to Fridamania.”

  1. Fridamania is everywhere, You should see all the mugs at The Spice Merchant dedicated to her.

  2. Yes, I agree Fridamania is strong. I know she would be very happy and proud of how far her legacy has gone.
