  • Kahlo lite for 100th

    By

    Fridamania lives. The popularity of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), which peaked with the 2002 movie starring Salma Hayek, is cresting once again as museums mark the centennial of her birth. In Mexico City, the Palace of Fine Arts has just opened an extensive Kahlo exhibition, and the Casa Azul (Blue House), the artist's family home-turned-museum, is now displaying some of the thousands of artifacts recently unearthed from a long-locked bathroom in the house. The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis has announced a show of 50 Kahlo paintings that will go on display in October and travel to Philadelphia in mid-February and to San Francisco next summer.

  • Protecting America, the beautiful

    By

    As a child, I met Lady Bird Johnson — who died this week at age 94 — at a Christmas party at the White House. We met again in 1995 at a black-tie dinner when she was being honored at the National Building Museum for her leadership in the conservation movement. In between those meetings, Mrs. Johnson's pioneering beautification efforts, once derided as "lipstick on the landscape," had grown to become law and an American way of life. Her beloved wildflowers spread to blossom on highways throughout the country, now free of billboards and junk. In Washington, we take for granted all the parks and medians filled with thousands of tulips, daffodils, azaleas and cherry trees that she planted in her days as first lady.

  • Dancers choose to be on edge

    By

    Washington's second annual Fringe Festival is a feisty, funky, fearless jamboree with one main rule: no rules. Fringe may be in its infancy here, but its basic idea was born 60 years ago in Scotland when eight artists, not invited to participate in the prestigious Edinburgh Festival with top international performers, decided to start a show of their own on the fringes of the site.
