Frida Kahlo

I ventured out of my apartment to see the highly touted Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Mexican Modernism exhibit at the Denver Museum of Art.

So disappointed.

Most of the exhibit consisted of black & white photos of Frida, Diego and their friends.  While historically interesting, I really wanted to see more of their original paintings.  

Also, in this COVID time, I was annoyed that too many people were allowed into the exhibit at the same time and that made keeping 6 feet apart impossible.  So I didn't feel safe.

There was a video, showing Diego's control over Frida that I felt was almost showing his abuse, and another "movie" that was also hard to view.

All in all, I don't recommend going to this exhibit.  You can learn more and see more in books and online.
