Frida Kahlo is one of the most influential female artists of the 20th Century. Even though her paintings often expressed sadness, loneliness, despair, sexual confusion,and extremedepression, the end result has been widely accepted and celebrated. Through unimaginable hardships, Frida painted incredible works of art. Her folkloric style was influenced by Mexican popular art, fantastical imagery, and magical realism that incorporated vibrant colors, exotic flowers and animals, elaborate jewelry, and most importantly, herself. I am really influenced by that of Frida’s paintings and artistic career and love to incorporate her different styles into my wardrobe. Check out these finds!
Amazingly enough, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SF MOMA) is exhibiting Frida Kahlo’s art by commemorating the centennial of this amazing artist’s birth. The exhibit lasts now until September 28th so if you are at all interested get down there now! On display are paintings that span her career, along with a selection of her own collection of personal photographs, most of which have never been on public display!
If you are anything like me, you loved 1965 cult-classic “Get Smart” with the crime fighting dynamic duo Maxwell Smart (Don Adams) and Agent 99 (Barbara Feldman) whose mission was to thwart evil do’ers trying to take over the world!! (MUAAHHAHAAH) If so, then you must be ecstatic to know that this summer the delightful tv show is making its way to the big screen…with a modern twist!
The one thing I am looking forward to (besides the comedic relief of Steve Carell) is the fashion!!! Anne Hathaway WOWed us in “The Devil Wears Prada” and she’s doing it againas Agent 99 the levelheaded, daring, and the oh so sophisticated sidekick whose casual-chic appearance is versatile easily taking her all over the world as a top international spy.
