Frida Kahlo’s Two Fridas: Crafting Paintings and Multiple Identities, presenter, Professor Gail Levin, Fine and Performing Arts
Baruch Professor of Art History Gail Levin will speak about the work of Frida Kahlo. In the large-scale double self-portrait, called Two Fridas (1939), Frida Kahlo suggested her dual nature, her multiple ethnic identities. The image on the right is dressed in Tehuana costume, while that on the left wears a European Victorian-style dress. Some interpretations argue that the Frida dressed in Mexican outfit, in which she holds Diego’s portrait, is the one that he loved. This talk also features international homages to this painting by Mongolian and Japanese artists. This event is presented in the new series: A Tour of the World in 6 Artworks. It is developed by the Weissman Center for International Business, and is free and open to the Baruch community.
