Class Offerings
MAY 2025
FRIDA KAHLO & HER CIRCLE *Repeat of 2021 ArtsMuse class - Tues. May 6 at 6:30 pm EST
This class focuses on the inseparable life and art of the Mexican painter and larger-than-life personality Frida Kahlo (1907-1954). We will look closely at Kahlo’s paintings and explore her importance as an artist, teacher, and activist at the center of a 20th-century cultural Renaissance in Mexico - that included Diego Rivera, Kahlo’s well-known husband, Tina Modotti, Rufino Tamayo, and Manuel Alvarez Bravo, among many others.
