Frida

In my last post, I mentioned my visit to Frida Kahlo´s house. While reading the nytimes today, I noticed this story. The beginning refers to her house, Casa Azul, but the whole piece gives a great insight into what I saw.

¨Basically, she felt what we all feel, only hugely, terribly... That’s the way Kahlo enters your system, fast, with a jolt, an effect as unnerving, and even repellent, as it is pleasurable.¨
