Yep... we'll be there this weekend!
Currently, the Philadelphia Museum of Art is exhibiting a celebration of the centennial of artist Frida Kahlo's birth. Yes, the exhibit boasts over 40 paintings, such as The Two Kahlos (1939) Henry Ford Hospital (1932), and The Broken Column (1944). Yes, it includes almost 100 photos of Kahlo and her husband, the snake-souled Diego Rivera (among others), taken by visionaries like Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Lola Alvarez Bravo, Gisele Freund, Tina Modotti, and Nickolas Muray.
And, yes, solon and I are taking Sweet Baby J to see it this weekend!!!

Love it, love it!!! Harrogate is so jealous. Both Kahlo and Rivera were such incredible artists. And while he knows nada about the photographers, he trusts you at your word that they are visionaries. We now expect a full report!
And of course, One always appreciates Inside-Joke references.
Although, it did make Harrogate feel a bit guilty when he wrote that. Ever seen the movie, _Cradle Will Rock_? Hard not to love Rivera the man a little bit, after seeing that movie.
I so wish we could go with you. We will be taking Wild Man to the nearest zoo this weekend, which should be lots of fun as he spends lots of time looking out the window at the various squirrels and birds that visit our bird feeder.
What was the comment removed by the author?
I realize it must have been an ad but what was it for?
I haven't seen Cradle Will Rock, Harrogate. (Adding it to the queue as I type!) Have you read Rivera's autobiography? It's both a hyperbolic work of fiction and totally beautiful insight into the subjectivity of reality in life and art. Also, you should check out Kahlo's diary. I have a version that includes both a translation and full page images of every page in color. (It's edited by Carlos Fuentes.)
M, have fun at the zoo!!! Pictures, please!
I deleted the comment, Solon. For some reason eblogger published my comment twice.
