OLA!
I RETURNED LATE LAST NIGHT FROM AN EXCITING WEEK IN SAN MIGUEL ALLENDE MX WHERE THE TOWN CELEBRATED DIA DE LAS MUERTOS. I'D RECOMMEND THE TRIP TO ANYONE WHO HAS AN INTEREST IN "MOCKING DEATH" AS THE MEXICANS DO, WITH MUSIC, JOY, ART AND FOOD. I WAS ABLE TO STUDY A PRIVATE COLLECTION OF FRIDA KAHLO PAINTINGS, DRAWINGS, LETTERS, RECIPES, SHORT STORIES, MEDICAL DRAWINGS AND PERSONAL BELONGINGS. THE COLLECTION IS PRESENTLY BEING AUTHENTICATED AND ARCHIVED. A CATALOGUE WILL BE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC IN THE NEAR FUTURE. I WAS OVERWHELMED WITH THE DEEP, PERSONAL NATURE OF THESE KAHLO WORKS. MANY WERE PAINTED SPECIFICALLY FOR DIEGO. I ALSO HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF OBSERVING A PRINTMAKING SEMINAR AT THE BELLAS ARTES. I LEARNED TWO NEW PROCESSES BY WATCHING THESE TALENTED PRINTMAKERS IN ACTION.
