This week at the Galler-E, we encounter one of the most famous female artists in the Western canon: Frida Kahlo. While we look at THE TWO FRIDAS, we also talk about how this example of her work dials into the questions of identity, romanticism, pain, and nationality that revolved around Frida for most of her life.
