Frida Kahlo’s exhibit held at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art through September 28, 2008 is marvelous! The photographs, paintings, drawings, and prints were included in the exhibition. I was disappointed that her dresses, books, letters, jewelry were not at the show though. I had read that two rooms at her “Blue House” that had been sealed were recently discovered (Frida Kahlo, Painting Her Own Reality, Christina Burrus, Abrams Discoveries book, page 87). I look forward to doing research on her life so that I may write another paper on Frida. Best, Pamela Carvajal Drapala

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the Frida exhibit last week — except for trying to read the plaques next to the pictures with my bifoculs and my 69-year-old eyes. It would be really helpful if the information could be enlarged and printed in bolder type. I wasn’t the only one almost falling over in order to read the information about the pictures. Otherwise, a most impressive exhibit.

I saw a wonderful Frida Kahlo exhibit at San Francisco MOMA in 1996. It was not crowded at all! The art presentation was breathtaking. A friend who was with me had to leave partway through the afternoon, so we took her return-validated ticket-stub and gave it away to a person standing in line to buy a ticket, and they came right in. What a wonderful experience it was! I had never seen Frida’s artwork in person before, only in books and notecards. I hope they do as well with this new exhibit in 2008.

Yes, I agree. Don’t you just love those women who came before us–their voices screaming out through their poetry, paintings, and prose: Plath, Sexton, Nin, Kahlo, Parker, and Woolf? I thank God for all of them!
