Frida Kahlo Exhibition

Howdy Bloggers .

No mixed media update today as I've been flat out with work and 

no time to create before today :(

But........

I've have been to the Gallery this week .

Its been on my list for ages,to get to Sydney to see the Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera exhibition.

So one Wednesday ,with 4 days till it closes we made a lightning dash to Sydney.

Today I'm going to share a couple of my favorite pieces from the showing .

This one above , was at the gallery Titled " the Miscarriage."

Frida herself left this particular Lithograph piece "Untitled" and yet the art scholars decided that it required a name so the title of  "The Abortion" or "The Miscarriage" was used .

The emotion within this piece is palatable. 

The tear drops ,The light and dark of herself ,

The 3rd arm connected to the paint palette ,

the umbilical cord fixed to the fully formed fetus.

and again , her tears ..

Definately enlarge it so you can see the detail and angst of the subject in this piece

The exhibition featured not only paintings but a collection of photographs from different photographers , including her father who was a professional photograher.

this photo above is Frida Seated , painting her "The Wounded Table" masterpiece.

" Diego on my Mind"

During Fridas career she painted 65 self portraits
