Frida Kahlo exhibit

This weekend, Joe and I went to the Walker Art Center to see the Frida Kahlo exhibit. It was incredible. I have been familiar with her work, her vibrant use of colors, and all the self portraits she had done, but I had no idea about her personal life and all the pain she had in life. She was in a terrible trolley car accident that doctors thought she would never walk again, and in her recovery she had an easel propped upon her cast as she lie there, and she painted some of her most amazing works. At the Walker they have these great audio guides, that work like a PDA so you don't have to "follow the person speaking" from painting to painting, but rather use a keypad to enter the number of the painting you're standing near to hear about it, and also see video and get much more information. I recommend this exhibit very highly, if you get a chance, go see it.
