Frida Love

We took our students to see the Frida and Diego exhibit at the High Museum of Art, so I got a little Frida-fied with my outfit. 

While I can easily recognize her work, there was a lot I didn't know about the colorful Frida Kahlo! I didn't know that her body was constantly in pain from polio and a bus accident as a teenager. I didn't know she was in love with a much older (and larger) Diego Rivera... that they got divorced.... then got married again. I didn't know that her accident made her unable to have her own babies. That she lived in the USA and hated it and Paris and loved it but was always obsessed with her native Mexico. Turns out, there's a lot more to Frida than colors, flowers, and self portraits!










Cool thing about being a teacher #951: sometimes you get to do as much learning as you do teaching!

Anyway, if you live in Atlanta, you should definitely visit the Frida and Diego exhibit at the High. If you have the option, definitely see the lovely multimedia performance before the exhibit. It's appropriate for kids and entertaining for adults, too. And if me and my blog post are any proof, educational!

Wearing:
Vintage peasant skirt
Blouse from somewhere crazy cheap and probably not ethical at all
Belt bought in Paris
Circle scarf gift from a parent
Boots from Target
Glasses from a boutique in Brooklyn, NY

Oo, I just love Frida. I saw an art exhibit of Mexican artists in high school and fell for her. Such an interesting point of view. She was basically a surrealist, but she completely rejected that idea, instead painting her own reality.

Lovely post!
