"Frida Kahlo, her photos" & "Gothic Beauty: Victorian notions of love, loss and spirituality" (Bendigo Art Gallery)

The Frida Kahlo photos were photos from her collection, only a few of which she took herself, although some have her marks on them, notably kiss-shaped lipstick imprints on a couple of her lovers'.


The Gothic exhibition was good. I was generally most drawn to the more contemporary pieces with a clear connection to the style's Victorian origins.
