Talk | Frida’s America: Painting the Political
Thu, Jul 10 | 6:30–7:30 pmCelia Stahr, PhD, is the author of Frida in America and professor at the University of San Francisco. Dr. Stahr will discuss Frida Kahlo’s pivotal three years living in the United States during the Depression era. It was a time when Kahlo found her artistic voice and created some of her most blatantly political paintings. With the US economy bottoming out, racial tensions boiling over, and the rise of fascism abroad, Kahlo acknowledged, “In 1933–34, I was very interested in political things.” In this talk, Dr. Stahr will explore some of the political issues that inspired to make paintings such as My Dress Hangs There.
