Frida Beyond the Myth - VMFA

Twentieth-century Mexican artist Frida Kahlo continues to fascinate us with her arresting gaze, signature fashion, and trailblazing legacy. At the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, this singular artist and her extraordinary works are the focus of Frida: Beyond the Myth.

The exhibition showcases many of the artist’s most important paintings and drawings from the beginning of her career in 1926 until her death in 1954. More than 60 works of art in a variety of media, many rarely seen outside of Mexico, include self-portraits, still lifes, and compositions from her imagination. Also on view are photographs of Kahlo taken by many of those closest to her, including internationally renowned photographers Lola Álvarez Bravo, Imogen Cunningham, Julien Levy, Dora Maar, and Nickolas Muray.
