I enjoy movies about art and artists. When I saw the movie Fredia about Fredia Kahlo, she was not one of my favorite artists. I really enjoyed this movie! Learning about her life and her creative process made me appreciate her work and want to see more.

Your post came at a good time for me, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI was fascinated by Frida Khalo back in art history class years ago, but can't say I really appreciated her art at the time. Years later, I saw the movie and was moved again by the story of her personal struggle and it really made me appreciate her art more as well. Haven't seen Pollock (wanted to when it came out, but forgot about it). You've inspired me to check it out again.
