Philadelphia Museum of Art - Frida Kahlo


Took a road trip with a few friends, to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, to see the Frida Kahlo exhibit.

Although photography was prohibited of the Frida Kahlo exhibit, I took the opportunity to get some non related shots in.

Frida's use of painting as a tool of expression for the tragedies in her life, and as a method of trying to come to to terms with her beliefs and that of her environment is disturbingly honest, insightful and powerful.

One can only sympathize and hope she gained a form of transcendence from her angst, through her work, while she was among us.
