Performing Passion & Pain: The Case of Frida Kahlo - SPAN3350 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description Frida Kahlo has become an icon of contemporary art and feminism. Examines her life, art, letters and diary to account for her status in Mexican and Latin American circles as well as in a broad international context. Emphasises the self-consciously theatrical ways in which Kahlo's work projects particular versions of the following general themes: ethnicity and "Mexicanness"; gender and identity; public and private selves; the body fragmented and in pain; radical leftwing politics; passion and masochism.
