Frida Kahlo, Still Life, 1951 Delight in the details of the famed artist’s work DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writertaffet@dallasvoice.com Five works by bisexual artist Friday Kahlo from a private collection are on display at the Dallas Museum of Art.
One is a still life featuring a watermelon sliced open, other fruit and vegetables and a ceramic dog with a Mexican flag inscribed with a message that translates from the Spanish as, “I belong to Samuel Fastlicht.
I was painted with great affection by Frida Kahlo in 1951. Coyoacán.” Fastlicht was Kahlo’s dentist and the canvas was painted in payment for dental work.
