Frida Kahlo Through Leo Matiz's Lens in Venice

exhibition · 2026-05-05

Thirty unpublished photographs by Leo Matiz, a friend and talented photographer, offer an intimate view of Frida Kahlo in a Venice exhibition at Ar33 Studio. The black-and-white and color images capture Kahlo through daily rituals during the 1940s, a period of artistic maturity marked by fragile balances and indomitable determination. Some portraits were later personalized by Emanuele Viscuso in the 1980s, adding material inserts and two-dimensional supports to create a multifaceted image. The exhibition runs until August 17, 2016, at AR33STUDIO, San Marco 1733, Venice.
