About a week after her 47th birthday, Kahlo died on July 13, 1954, at her beloved Blue House. There has been some speculation regarding the nature of her death. It was reported to be caused by a pulmonary embolism, but there have also been stories about a possible suicide.

The Australia Design Centre in Sydney is currently working on a fascinating project that it will launch in November, ‘exploring non-visual senses and art making’. The Centre is working with the craft-focused publishing platform Garland to produce the exhibition that looks at the non-visual senses – taste, sound, smell and touch, and how they help us ‘reconnect’ with the world, and expand craft beyond solely the visual (free). Artist Frida Kahlo was considered one of Mexico's greatest artists who began painting mostly self-portraits after she was severely injured in a bus accident. Kahlo later became politically active and married fellow communist artist Diego Rivera in 1929. She exhibited her paintings in Paris and Mexico before her death in 1954. Family, Education and Early Life It makes for interesting timing ahead of the opening of sis pacific art 1980 – 2023 at GOMA, which will investigate three decades of art-making by a sisterhood of artists from across Oceania, drawing from the QAGOMA Collection. The exhibition will include textiles, ceramics, photography, moving image, sculpture, installation and performance (26 August – 8 September, free). A sure highlight for September will be the solo exhibition by Laotian-Australian artist Savanhdary Vongpoothorn, which spans over two decades of practice and premieres a large-scale kinetic wall based sculpture at Campbelltown Art Centre (4 September – 15 October). Vongpoothorn’s work interweaves Lao cultural references with Australian and other cultural influences: from Australian Aboriginal art to Scottish tartans, to Indian miniatures and now to Japanese Buddhism.

In 1929, Kahlo and famed Mexican muralist Diego Rivera married. Kahlo and Rivera first met in 1922 when he went to work on a project at her high school. Kahlo often watched as Rivera created a mural called The Creation in the school’s lecture hall. According to some reports, she told a friend that she would someday have Rivera’s baby. Despite her relatively short life, Kahlo's legacy continues to resonate with people all over the world. Her art has been the subject of numerous exhibitions. In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in Kahlo's life and work, with new exhibitions and events celebrating her enduring influence. And across town at UTS Gallery, a survey of Justine Youssef’s work has been co-commissioned by Adelaide Contemporary Experimental (ACE), Institute of Modern Art (IMA), Brisbane and UTS (3 October– 24 November, free). November There have been two great accidents in my life. One was the trolley and the other was Diego. Diego was by far the worst. Kahlo divorced Rivera in 1939. They did not stay divorced for long, remarrying in 1940. The couple continued to lead largely separate lives, both becoming involved with other people over the years. Artistic Career

And with Rising, the Melbourne winter arts festival, slated to return in June, it is a good time to play your creative staycation. Frida Kahlo, the renowned Mexican artist, has left an indelible mark on the art world with her vibrant, expressive and deeply personal works. Born in 1907, Kahlo's life was marked by physical pain and emotional turmoil, but she channelled these experiences into her art, creating works that are both personal and universal.As with “Immersive Van Gogh,” the lounge area features custom artworks designed by the show’s creative director, David Korins (set designer for “Hamilton”), including a mosaic tile installation of Kahlo based on one of her 1940s-era self-portraits and a cylindrical, Rubik’s Cube-like wooden sculpture, featuring prints of different Kahlo self-portraits. Visitors are invited to spin the different layers in the work, mixing and matching Kahlo’s facial elements. Kahlo reconnected with Rivera in 1928. He encouraged her artwork, and the two began a relationship. During their early years together, Kahlo often followed Rivera based on where the commissions that Rivera received were. In 1930, they lived in San Francisco, California. They then went to New York City for Rivera’s show at the Museum of Modern Art and later moved to Detroit for Rivera’s commission with the Detroit Institute of Arts. An art historian, he paints a sad picture of Kahlo’s final days and claims that the persistent rumour that his grandfather may have helped his wife die might have some substance. But the show is as much about Kahlo’s joys and passion for life and art as it is about her pain, as seen through colorful butterflies, blooming flowers and self-portraits of the artist. In 1932, Kahlo incorporated graphic and surrealistic elements in her work. In this painting, a naked Kahlo appears on a hospital bed with several items — a fetus, a snail, a flower, a pelvis and others — floating around her and connected to her by red, veinlike strings. As with her earlier self-portraits, the work was deeply personal, telling the story of her second miscarriage. 'The Suicide of Dorothy Hale' (1939)
