“There is so much Frida-mania out there, we see her image on everything. I think over time, like with any thing, that kind of flattens the person, there’s a flattening of who Frida has become in popular culture, she’s the eyebrow, she’s the flowers in the hair, she’s the Frida we see in the beautiful Nickolas Muray color photographs from the middle of 20th century. But her life touches on so many key aspects of the history of Mexico City.” - Cleve Carney Museum of Art curator Justin Witte talking about his efforts to provide more context for Frida Kahlo the artist.
