Alice Rahon, Frida Kahlo, Gertrude Abercrombie, Helen Lundeberg, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Remedios Varo, Surrealism
This was such a great show, and exposed me to artists I hadn’t heard of before like Alice Rahon, Remedios Varo, Gertrude Abercrombie, and Helen Lundeberg. I think surrealism suits women well. It’s dreamlike and fantastical, full of symbolism and enveloped in feminine mysticism. It concluded May 6th, but a book is available at lacma.org.

Frida represents, of course. Sorry for the bad angle, couldn’t get a better position.
Alice Rahon, self-portrait and autobiography, 1948.
Alice Rahon, close-up of Ballad for Frida Kahlo, 1956-1966.
Alice Rahon. Mercy for the Judas Effigies, 1952.
A very inspiring show. It made me want to paint again.
