Frida Kahlo, Wings to Fly: the artist before the myth

Wings to Fly approaches Frida Kahlo by a less-traveled path: her early years and her affections. Among the pieces is the Portrait of Eva Frederick, an African-American woman she met during her stay in the United States and to whom she paid special attention. Casa de México in Spain invites us to see Frida not as a pop icon but as a painter who was learning, observing and building herself. It is a more human—and therefore closer—portrait. With ArtGuide you discover the person behind the image you already know by heart.
