Frida Kahlo: world-famous and yet a mystery
Frida Kahlo’s work has always intrigued me. It is, at the same time, different from much other work categorised as ‘surrealist’, whilst also being rooted in the tradition of magical realism.
Everyone is familiar with a few images of her work. It is hugely popular with a wide audience; all sorts of ‘merchandise’ is available featuring her likeness and her artwork. And yet she remains something of a mystery, and not just because she is rooted in a different tradition to my own.
