Last week, I went to a private viewing of 'Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera: Masterpieces of the Jacque and Natasha Gelman collection' It was really interesting and inspiring and I have been a longtime fan. It was so civilized to be guided through by an art expert that could give you the background to the collection.
So, big thanks to LeCool, Dublin for organizing the evening.
Natasha Gelman by Diego Rivera: beautifully stylized, I really like the way the Calla lilies are repeated in the shape of her dress. 'Diego on my Mind' by Frida Kahlo: Diego is her third eye and the Tehuana head-dress is impressive. 'Frida on White Bench' by Nikolas Muray: I loved these series of photographs shot by her lover in New York, 1946.
