Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving
The Radcliffe Club of San Francisco invites members of the Harvard Club of San Francisco to a private docent tour at the de Young museum.
The artist Frida Kahlo (Mexican, 1907-1954) is today an iconic figure, known as much for her path-breaking artwork as for her striking appearance. Kahlo married the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera (1886-1957) in 1929. They shared a deep devotion to art, to Mexico and its multifaceted cultures, and to revolutionary politics. Upon her death, at the instruction of Rivera many of her personal possessions were locked away in La Casa Azul-the home where she was born, lived most of her life, and died. Today, La Casa Azul houses the Museo Frida Kahlo, where in 2004 the remarkable trove of items that had been hidden away fifty years earlier came to light. Drawings, documents, dresses, accessories, and Kahlo's colorful self-fashioned outfits from this trove-along with select paintings by Kahlo and items from the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco-are the heart of this exhibition.
The Radcliffe Club of San Francisco invites members of the Harvard Club of San Francisco to a private docent tour at the de Young museum.
Following the tour, you are invited to join the group for coffee/lunch at the museum cafe.
Coffee and lunch will begin at approximately 11:30. Afterwards, you may re-visit the rest of the museum on your own.
This event is a joint event of the Harvard and Radcliffe Clubs of SF. It is open to alumni/ae of both clubs and their guests.
