With a great opening on June 20, 1997, the Fraser Gallery of Georgetown hosted an exhibition of modern portraits of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo
de Rivera. The
portraits have been selected from invited artists as well as from nearly 200 entries from
eligible U.S., Mexican, Canadian and U.K. artists and Kahlophiles in general. A total
of 36 artists have been selected by the juror Florencio Lennox Campello, who
describes himself as a "Kahlophile since age 17." He is
not only an award winning artist on his own right, but also an acclaimed
regional art critic whose art reviews appear in over a dozen art
magazines and local Greater Washington capital area newspapers. His first
exposure to Kahlo's work was during a vacation visit to Mexico City
in 1975 and the love affair with Kahlo's work culminates with this
exhibition. Included among the invited artists is the work of American artist Diane
Kahlo,
from Lexington, Kentucky. Diane Kahlo's grandfather was Frida Kahlo's uncle and in a
remarkable coincidence, she was told about this competition and has created
a special painting to celebrate the homage to her relative.
