For Those About To Pluck, We Salute You

Frida_Kahlo_double_self-portrait.jpgReader F. Lennox Campello tips us off in his blog that our favorite unibrowed artist, Frida Kahlo, will be featured in an exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art sometime in early 2008. It will be "the first American exhibition solely dedicated to Kahlo’s work in over a decade... [and] will explore the relationship between her art and her life by examining hauntingly seductive and often brutal self-portraits in addition to works that amplify her sense of her own identity."

We've been a big Frida Kahlo fan since we wrote a paper about her in high school. Her life was fascinating and her art is stirring and beautiful. We're very much looking forward to the exhibition!
