3rd THURSDAYS @ 3

Third Thursdays at 3: Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera

Through a visual presentation, Professor Thomas Germano will examine the lives and art of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Together, these two colorful, larger-than-life artists have endured as vibrant characters from an ancient Mexican culture abruptly entering the modern era. Rivera is considered one of the 20th century’s major artistic figures. Flamboyant, irreverent, and unforgettable, Kahlo created startling and at times disturbing works of art. Fifty-five of her 143 paintings are self-portraits, which speak of her vivaciousness and personal tragedies.
