Frida Kahlo : Making Her Self Up at the Victoria and Albert Museum


I was lucky enough to go to the preview 
this morning of the upcoming 


It was much more in depth than I expected.

It had paintings of course.


And drawings.

And personal letters she wrote to her family while she was in America.

 But there were more intimate and unexpected artefacts and souvenirs such as her back braces.

Up close, they were so well crafted that they were reminiscent of couture level items.

Also included were plasters before she wore her back braces.

This was the plaster when she was expecting.


She wore it so proudly.
