Frida Kahlo, the Making of An Icon

Frida Kahlo was one of the first truly global artists- a cultural phenomenon, and an internationally recognised figure.

She produced more than 150 images of herself - 'I am my own muse; the subject I know best' she once wrote - she turned herself into an art historical icon and yet her small and eccentric paintings went largely unnoticed in her lifetime - it was only after her death, age 47, that her career exploded.

Cindy Polemis will explore the life and legacy of the extraordinary and incomparable Frida Kahlo.Lecturer - Cindy Polemis
