Imagine you have in your living room a Vermeer. Not a copy, not a nice canvas print, but an original Vermeer! Well, now imagine that one day you wake up and... poof! It's gone. It's gone. As if by magic (but of the thieving Houdini kind).
It is no secret that Frida Kahlo has been one of the most iconic painters of recent decades. From a blockbuster movie to merchandise of her face on every street corner in Mexico, Frida has captivated millions with her tragic story and incredible willpower. She is an icon of both fashion and feminism. And that's why it must be part of your bucket list to see at least one of her famous paintings in person so you can witness firsthand the pain, the loneliness, the strength, and the identity of her work.
