“FRIDA KAHLO, Una vita per immagini” opens tomorrow at the Civic Museum of Sansepolcro, Italy
15 May 2021
On Sunday 16 May the Sansepolcro Civic Museum (Arezzo, Italy) reopens with the great exhibition event of 2021, which intends to repeat the success of the one dedicated to Banksy.
The exhibited photos were taken by his father Guillermo during her daughter's childhood and youth, then by some of the greatest photographers of her time: Leo Matiz, Imogen Cunninghan, Edward Weston, Lucienne Bloch, Bernard Silbertein, Manuel and Lola Alvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray and others.
In this extraordinary “photo album” the often painful but always passionate events of a life run after each other, such as Frida's loves, friendships and adventures. Also on display there is a group of small, very intimate photographs of Frida, taken in Polaroid format by the gallery owner Julien Levy.
The exhibition itinerary reconstructs the context in which Frida built her personality: the Mexico of the early twentieth century, crossed by a revolution that changed its history, thanks to humble campesinos and heroic protagonists like Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata.
