The Philbrook Museum of Art will host two screenings of the documentary film “Frida Kahlo”, at 7pm. Saturday 5th August and 2pm Sunday 6th August at the museum, 2727 S. Rockford Road.
The film, produced by Exhibition on Screen, is considered a definitive look at the life and art of Frida Kahlo, whose work is also featured in the museum’s current exhibition, “Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Mexican Modernism”.
Filmed extensively in Kahlo’s home in Mexico City, known as “The Blue House,” the documentary features commentary from experts who knew Kahlo and studied and curated his work, as well as using the latest visual technology to provide a glimpse delved into some of his most important works, many of which are on display at Philbrook.
Kahlo’s letters help reveal the emotions and ideas that underlie the dense symbolism in his work, as well as the source of his fevered creativity, resilience, and unparalleled lust for life, politics, men and women.
Tickets for the film cost $ 12 for adults, which includes general admission to the museum. Timed entrance tickets for “Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Mexican Modernism” are available at an additional cost. For seat reservations and more information: 918-748-5300, philbrook.org.
