The Group visited the Core Theatre Exhibition On Screen of the Mexican revolutionary artist and revolutionary who became a global superstar long after her death...
Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón (1907 - 1954) was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. But this magnificent documentary came as a complete 'eye-opener' to those of us who perhaps recognised her face but did not even know her name!
Her tragically short life and constant battles with pain and injury drove her to break more boundaries in taste and style than perhaps any other artist - man or woman. It was a breath-taking exposé.
