Last Chance to See “Frida: Beyond the Myth”

Explore the life of Frida Kahlo, one of the 20th century’s most well-documented and enigmatic artists, and an architect of her own persona. Meet Frida as she saw herself . . .

Due to popular demand, the run has been extended through February 23, 2025.

The DMA presents  Frida: Beyond the Myth.  Composed of 60 works across media—paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs—the exhibition  explores the life of one of the 20th century’s most well-documented artists, who continues to elude our understanding of her as an individual.

Taking a chronological approach, this exhibition will lift the veil of myth surrounding Kahlo by delving deeper into the defining moments of her life and how she embedded symbolic motifs in her self-portraits and still lifes to cryptically express her emotive reactions to major events. These works will be supplemented with photographs of Kahlo taken by the friends and fellow artists who knew her best, capturing the vulnerability and sensuality that still compel us today.

Frida: Beyond the Myth is organized by the Dallas Museum of Art. This exhibition is presented by Texas Instruments. The Dallas Museum of Art is supported, in part, by generous DMA Members and donors, the Texas Commission on the Arts, and the citizens of Dallas through the City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture.
