Frida Kahlo

The immersive digital experiences that have been flooding Boston and other cities are not Art with a capital “A.” But they do serve the purpose of making complex art historical figures more approachable, and perhaps more entertaining, to a wide audience.

Art lovers are used to seeing Frida Kahlo depict herself in her deeply intimate self-portraits. In “Frida Kahlo: POSE” at the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University, Kahlo is depicted through the lens of other artists, photographers who flocked to her striking image and natural manner in front of the camera.
