Synopsis

Catalogue d'une exposition au V&A à l'été 2018. Aussi bien en tant qu´artiste qu´en tant que femme, Frida Kahlo fascine. Son style est à l´image de ses uvres : immédiatement reconnaissable. Suite à sa mort en 1954, Diego Rivera demanda à ce que soient enfermées les affaires de sa femme pour 15 années après son décès : elles ne seront finalement ouvertes qu´en 2004. Ces archives sont exposées pour la première fois et donnent un aperçu intime de la vie de Frida : ses bijoux, ses vêtements, ses affaires de toilette, ses journaux et ses lettres, accompagnés des tableaux figurant ses objets personnels. Un portrait de l´artiste par ses possessions se dessine ainsi, avec ses idéaux politiques et sociaux en toile de fond.

Through this incredible archive, Frida Kahlo: Making Her Self Up, will give the reader a unique window into Kahlo’s life. It will focus on the personal, combining her prosthetics and clothes with self-portraits, diary entries and letters to build an intimate portrait of the artist through her possessions, setting this in the context of her political and social beliefs.
