About the Exhibition: dey.ng/frida-kahlo
Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving examines how politics, gender, trauma, and national identity influenced Kahlo’s diverse modes of creativity. The exhibition features highly personal items, which came to light in 2004 at her lifelong home, La Casa Azul (now Museo Frida Kahlo) in Mexico City-including approximately 30 photographs, 20 vibrant Tehuana costumes from her wardrobe, and personalized braces and prosthetics-alongside paintings and drawings by the iconic artist and photographs reflecting her unique self-fashioning.
The exhibition is on view at the de Young museum through February 7, 2021. Reserve your ticket here: dey.ng/tickets
This event is part of Virtual Wednesdays, a weekly UA-cam broadcast bringing you unique viewpoints exploring diversity, resilience, and creative spirit in the arts as we aim to reframe our exhibitions and collections. View upcoming Virtual Wednesdays programs here: dey.ng/virtual-wednesdays
after only having a vague idea of who she was, I found a book that covered every aspect of her life. I read it in one sitting when I was 16 and it was the catalyst for an immense change in my creative life- I found so much freedom in learning about her relationship to herself as her own muse, and it shook me out of a huge rut I’d been in regarding my art. She is such a powerful person.
May I know the title of the book? 🙏
@@erigeorgie I looked everywhere online to see if I would recognize it, but I couldn’t find it :( There are so many books about her life, and it was many years ago one night at an airBnB.
The inspiration you found from Frida’s life, is in itself inspiring. ❤️
@@erigeorgie I'd like to know the title of this book as well :)
what book?
The life of Frida Kahlo was so immense that she could be who she was enduring such physical pain..
Her legacy endures long after her
death.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DAY IN MY LIFE ,I SAW 👀ALL ABOUT HER. I LOVE YOU PASSION FRIDA KAHLO THE MOST STRONGER WOMEN. ❤ I WAS CRYNG OF HAPPINESS .THANKS YOUNG MUSEUM, FOR ALL THIS AMAZING 👏 EXPOSITION.
I have recently had to accept that I am chronically ill from various things, and I do feel fucking broken. I am also a mixed Latina, but I was told to never speak about it or meet that side of my family, so I feel equally as fucking broken in my heritage. Frida really inspires me, thank you for sharing her work, I hope to become as confident as she was and live my short life on this earth fully.
Wishing you good luck and a joyfull Journey
If I had my choice I would rather be physically ill than mentally delusional or morally bankrupt and torturing others.
Dear Tearful Angel, Please condider your tears as cleansing so you may move forward and make your dreams a reality. Take it slowly and enjoy the beauty of your journey.
A very clear description of who she was and her love for clothing and being unique, and how her playing with fashion gave her the power to make her pain a little easier for living her life with dignity, and filling it with creativity.
The way this was filmed is so well done. Now knowing a little of Frieda Kahlo's life shows why the way she painted and make me appreciate it more
My first post COVID trip I have planned is Mexico City. A visit to Casa Azul is on the itinerary. Looking forward to this trip. It is what keeps me sane these days.
How was it ?
Frida kalo is one of my daughers favorite arts ever!! My daughter wishes she had met her. Frida Kalo is so so so so amazing. My daughter is hopeing one day she can see the blue house I said one day I will take you. I hope more young pepole are interested in her like my 8 year old daughter.
In my Spanish Classes we are studying the Thematic Unit: Frida Kahlo Selfies (Self-Portraits). This will be a great opportunity for them to watch the exhibition from their homes and learn about Culture and Personal Identity in the context of Art. 150 students will be watching!
Beautifully filmed and narrated! I love this so much. Frida is one of my very favorite artist. Wish I could see this exhibit in person, but at least I can see it here thanks to the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Thank you all!
She is one of my favorite artists. Her bright colors both in paintings and clothing are what draw me to her. It is amazing how she shows her pain and her life through everything she touched. Provo.
Hermosos Vestidos Mis RESPETOS 😊👍💯💯💯💝💝💝
Frida was an artistic magician who used the terrible pain she endured as the material for her art. She lived with humor, passion and grit to rise above what few could survive. Has there ever been such an honest artist before or since. She's in that circle of artists like Van Gogh, Bukowski, Artaud, Lenny Bruce who bare their soul warts and all.
If Frida was here she would absolutely love this documentary of herself. Love you FRIDA, I can't wait for your return. ❤
The very first time that I saw one of Frida's self-portraits I was both enchanted and then haunted by her. I began to read as much as I cd find on her and Diego. To this day I am as much enamoured with Frida as I was when I first saw her portrait.
This lady's brushwork is seriously accomplished & beautiful.
I have been following Frida for years and I am so glad to see this virtual offering. I just wish I could see it in person. Thank you for giving recognition to this amazing woman.
I wish I had gone to view this exhibition. I was there last year....I want to see Diegos art, but ended up on a walking goose chase and finally gave up, we were only there for 3 days. Had I know she had an exhibit I would have gone!!
I can never get enough of Frida!!! I wish I could visit this expo...
She was talented and beatifull.I love her and her paintings.
Thank you for this overview of the exhibit and of Kahlo's life. I was able to see the exhibit when it was at the Brooklyn Museum. I was so captivated by everything on display.. What struck me the most was to see the makeup she used. As said in the video she was truly feminine. I don't remember seeing the perfume bottles so I appreciate you sharing that in the video. Photos weren't allowed in the exhibit which I so appreciate. Your film captures all that someone needs to see. Thank you!
Beautiful video.
Beautiful Kahlo.
I have my kitchen dedicated to her , I love it , all her art work and colour and flowers around me.
Thank You. 🙏🏻❤️💫
What an incredible artist 🖼🎨💕
This was good and sad at the same time.
The collection and video are superb! Everyone did such a wonderful job of telling Frida Khalo's life and work. It's wonderful that so many of Frida's personal items were preserved so that we can enjoy them.
I will never know enough of Frida Kahlo. What a fascinating woman she is: thank you, belatedly, for the extensive exhibition of her works.
very excited for this!
The display cases, lighting, and exhibition design looks superb. Great respect shown here for the artist.
This looks wonderful!
Just beautiful
Brilliant❗️
Thank you so much for this wonderful video since I won't get to see it in person. The website kept saying members-only and now it says sold out. 😔🥀
thank u so much for sharing this.
Great to see 😍😍😍
Wonderful! Thank you!
Thank you so much for making this possible!!
So beautiful, so strong...
Thank you for making this available. Just awesome.
I would love to have the opportunity to see this museum and its extent of. I would also love to see her museum house in Mexico City. I will see however the touring Frida exhibit once covid lifts. "To Frida" 🙌❤
Thank you for such a great video 🌷
Wonderful insight wonderful Artist
Great video! Thank you for sharing 💗❤️💜💕
So beautiful! Thank you.
Simply spectacular! Thank You for making this available through UA-cam. I will be showing this to my students. A true mexican (of mixed races) She is an awesome example of how extraordinary and artistic many Mexicans are. 🙏🏽💖
I had the honor and privilege to see this in person. I drove 1000 miles in the pandemic and loved her even more. Ive visited the Caza Azul 5 times now and I have used her as my muse for my MA. Amazing video
Saw this exibition at the V&A in the UK in 2018 when it was titled 'Making Herself Up'.
So Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing this exhibit with us!
Lovely! How she could turn pain into beauty!
She turned pain into power. The passion she had for love, life, and art helped her to push through.
There is beauty in pain we just have to see it and discover what is means to us.
Gran artista pero particularmente no me termina de gustar mucho porque se ve sólo su tristeza interna en sus obras...la historia la muestra como representante de la mujer fuerte pero la verdad es otra. Khalo fué una mujer codependiente emocional de Diego Rivera.Un pintor muralista famoso pero fue un hombre que la humilló y públicamente y de todas las formas posibles, siempre le ponía los cuernos hasta con la propia hermana de Frida y ella así con todo seguía detrás de él servil y humillada en una relación por demás tóxica.Frida no me representa como mujer para nada.
I think pain makes people more creative...
I love Frida's artistic voice so much, it's nearly crippling as an artist. Standing ovation. I said, "nearly."
Wonderful documentary
Thank you 🌺
so excited to be able to see this particular show
Wow! That was wonderful. Thank you so much. I am homebound due to COVID-19 and really loved getting this tour. I look forward to visiting the de Young again in the future! But in the meantime, thank you for this!
Beautiful 😍 I love all that’s Frida thank you for sharing
Seen the exposition in London in the New Tate, loved it so much, was a split of the orginial treasure . In my opinion such treasures should be shared with all of us, not end in rich peoples tresores, never to been seen for the so called ordinary public again
Wasn't the exposition at the V & A?
@@laurissimano2585 Maybe later. I've seen it at the New Tate. Had to travel from Germany.

🌲🌝☘️
One of my favorite artists. Thank you!
This was so illuminating, thank you. I enjoyed it immensly
I really appreciate this. Thank you for sharing it with us on UA-cam 💗
The exhibit looks wonderful! I wish I could see it!
I watched with great interest, thank you for this movie🔆
Fabulous video, thank you deYoung!
Gracias!
So jazzed at this possibility! Thank you to whomever was the mover and shaker offering up this jewel!!
Thank you for this peek into her life. I would love to travel to San Francisco when it is safe again, to spend a day taking in the whole exhibit. Her biography by Hayden Herrera was very interesting, but seeing her on film is something else. What a beautiful woman and artist.
This is wonderful to look at. A Piece of beauty and light in these dark times. The life of this extraordinary woman and artist was not easy to say the least. But it shows also how strong and resiliant people can be. Rest in peace Frida. 💜🙏
Thank you!
Tuned in from British Columbia; loved it! Thanks so much.
Beautifully done. Thank you! I hope to see the show in person when the Museum opens again.
Love this, thank you! I especially enjoyed seeing Frida on video .... moving, in life!
That was beautiful. I feel her energy within my soul💜🙏
Excellent
What a beautiful exhibition ✨Thank you for your sharing .I can’t go there .So I’m glad to watch it .
Thank you ❣️
I really love her.
I am inspired by her.
I would love to visit her home .
Thanks for the video
Inspirational woman, artistic though out all areas of life.
V excited for this! I had planned to visit the exhibit while I was living in SF but sadly had to move away due to the pandemic before the museum opened back up its doors. 😔
Thank you for this feature. I love Frida Kahlo. I hope to visit this display soon.
I was bummed out I couldn't travel to SF to see this exhibition, I am so excited you are offering a virtual tour.
I love Frida
So cool
Ever since I was little they would teach you about frida as a part of Mexican culture and she is honestly SO respected in Mexico everywhere you go
Also in some names that are of native from Mexico that are given to animals or things you mostly don’t pronounce the “tl” and the “x” is mostly pronounced “ch” for example “xoloizcuintle” is pronounced “chollo escuincle”
Wow, What a beautiful soul and journey! Thank you for the content!
Frida Kahlo is interesting and original. I saw several of her paintings when I was in Frankfurt am Main
Remarkable life.
That's why l like UA-cam, lots of amazing, inspiring information on it.
I didn't get to see this in NY, glad I got to See this though :)
Such a beautiful, inspiring, immensely talented woman. Simply watching this video....she spoke to me. Thank you 💕
Super vidéo . Super beautiful woman.
I have always loved Frida, and her art is so raw and beautiful in how emotionally vulnerable it is. There are some pieces here I've never seen before, like the portrait for the doctor and the painted orthopedic corsets. The one with the foetus broke my heart, you knew exactly what she was thinking and feeling with that. I hope they are able to keep this exhibit open after quarantine is done.
This is a beautiful little film about a beautiful person. Thank you!
So pretty ,intelligent strong woman and heartful
I love every single aspect of her existence will be always remembered and prayed in my deepest prayers.
i never know this part of frida Kahlo i love her art she is so strong and powerful same if she got so problem she turn it as art
she is very inspiring
A beautiful Creative Strong Woman I really respect her.
Thank you. Well done. July 6, 2021.
I’m so excited after all these months I’ll be able to see this fantastic exhibit next month in SFO
Frida Kahlo, a woman of amazing soul strength, beauty on high in her heart and her art !
Thanks for sharing this. I hope you can pleqse share video walking tours for those ofnis not lucky enough to go in person.
I was able to see this exhibit when it travelled to the Brooklyn Museum and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a great presentation that really humanized her art and vividly brought her to life on so many levels outside of her art. It was good to see this video to remember this.
oh how I wish I were able to visit and see this.. maybe this will come to London at some point!
A Wow! A beautifully done video too.... I have lived various times in Mexico over 60 years past ... sometimes taking visitors to Gto where i visited Diego's small home. Never went to the Blue House tho. Now I see that I might have missed the best part😳🤣😇
So wish I was there 🌟
