A half-century after her death, Mexican surrealist painter Frida Kahlo is internationally renowned, even among the non-art set, for her striking surrealist self-portraits. With the exhibit “Frida Kahlo: Art, Garden, Life,” the New York Botanical Garden aims to show Kahlo’s art in a new light—namely, sunlight. The artist drew heavily on the natural world just outside the window of her Mexico City home (known as La Casa Azul and now a museum), often featuring animals and lush greenery. This exhibit will re-create aspects of the painter’s home and garden within the park, juxtaposed with a dozen canvases.
