Britain's What's On Event Guide
Frida Kahlo, Exhibition on Screen film about this global icon
Frida Kahlo is a phenomenon, and a new blockbuster transatlantic exhibition from the Museum of Fine Arts Houston & Tate “Frida the Making of an Icon” opening at Tate Modern in June, is the occasion not just for a re-release of the excellent Exhibition on Screen film directed by Ali Ray about her life and work but a re-make to include material from the new exhibition and commentary from its curators.
Everyone knows Frida's face but who was the woman behind the bright colours, the big brows and the floral crowns? Take a journey through the life of a true global icon, discover her art and uncover the true story of her rebellious, passionate and turbulent life. Using her own letters the film reveals her deepest emotions and unlocks the secrets and symbolism contained within her art.
With interviews from those who actually knew her as well as world experts, commentary and a detailed exploration of her art combined with the special bonus of this new Tate exhibition, as well as privileged access to her home, her studio and her works the film delivers a treasure trove of colour and emotion, and highlights her feverish creativity, her resilience and her lust for life beauty and revolution.
