Frida Kahlo is one of those artists who, because her work is so autobiographical, always brings to mind a question that’s practically an obsession for me. How important is an artist’s biography to understanding their work? How important should it be? Here are some interesting facts about Frida Kahlo: she was married to the muralist […]
In the summer between my junior and senior years in high school I got to be part of a special student trip to Europe and spent a week with a family in France. The first night we sat down to dinner and they served sliced fried potatoes. As part of our cultural exchange I asked […]
While tearing down modern art seems to be a regular occupation, it’s rare that I see an article praising a work of contemporary art.

Simple black and white drawings of people, mostly from the Dominican Republic […]

An exhibit currently on display through October 7th, 2007, at the Frist Center For The Visual Arts in Nashville, Tennessee, features the work of ceramic artist and Nashville resident Sylvia Hyman. This is also the year Hyman turns ninety, but she’s still going strong, producing new work, and has, for several years, been producing extraordinary […]
