Frida Kahlo and Mexican Modernism Lecture

Join us with Dr. Jeanette Nicewinter for a lecture in partnership with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts

About this Event

This talk considers Frida Kahlo’s work within the larger cultural and societal context of post-Revolution Mexico. Frida’s revolutionary politics and beliefs often informed her work, and more broadly her identity, and were part of a much larger movement related to modernism and “indigenismo” in Mexico after the Revolution. Frida’s work will be placed in conversation with works by other Mexican modernist, such as Diego Rivera, to elucidate how Kahlo used the vernacular of post-revolution Mexican modernism within her artworks.
