Riccione, many visitors to the exhibition “Frida Kahlo, a life in images”. Doors open until May 1st
A woman, an icon, a source of inspiration for many. At the Villa Mussolini in Riccione the exhibition “Frida Kahlo, a life in images”, over 100 photos on display, most of which are original, to discover more closely the life and art, two sides of the same coin, of a revolutionary and free artist. “Frida has in fact become an icon, a legend,” she says SandraVilla, Councilor for Culture -. The part that is attracting visitors the most is her life experiences, passions, loves, nonconformism. In a distant time when the figure of the woman was very stereotyped, the revolution succeeded in freeing her”. The historical context of the Mexican girl, the typical clothes of the country always worn with pride by Frida, her intimacy, her Casa Azul, today a museum.
And then love with Diego Rivera, the pain caused by an accident, but despite everything a great desire to live. There is all this in the shots of her that portray her, made by professional photographers, like her father and other men with whom she has had an affair. An engaging exhibition, which is attracting several visitors, starting from the day of the inauguration, 25 November, symbolic data. “Throughout the holiday season we had over 2300 visitors, important numbers for our reality – concludes the councilor for culture -. This gives us great feedback. Let’s hope that success can last until May.”
