Frida Kahlo

This is the first major retrospective of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo's work in more than 20 years.

Self-taught after a crippling traffic accident in her teens, her vividly autobiographical works draw on Aztec, colonial and folkloric art, borrowing anatomical and medical imagery from her frequent and painful hospital visits.

The show looks at how Mexico's social and political upheaval infused her work along with wit and self-knowledge.

Important works include her marriage portrait, Frida Kahlo And Diego Rivera; The Broken Column, a representation of her spinal injury; and one of her largest, most psychologically acute canvases, The Two Fridas, which depicts both a European and Mexican version of herself.
