Maybe you missed it \u2014 but this great exhibit on Kahlo\u00a0was a very intimate show that outlined a friendship and leaves one wondering the influence this connection had on the future work of both artists. The exhibition\u00a0centered on a specific era: Kahlo\u2019s brief stay in Paris in early 1939, where she became ill and stayed with Mary Reynolds, an avant-garde American bookbinder and partner of Marcel Duchamp. Much of the show was comprised of approximately 100 objects, including seven major self\u2011portraits by Kahlo,\u00a0Reynolds\u2019s unique bookbindings, letters by Kahlo, photographs, works on paper, and prints.<\/p>\n<p>The beautifully staged objects and letters offered a glimpse into Kahlo\u2019s mindset and community during a transformative period.<\/p>\n<p>For more on the exhibit check out:<\/p>\n<p>Book:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/yalebooks.yale.edu\/book\/9780300279665\/frida-kahlos-month-in-paris\/\"><em><strong>Frida Kahlo&#8217;s Month in Paris \u2014\u00a0A Friendship with Mary Reynolds<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yalebooks.yale.edu\/2025\/06\/13\/an-excerpt-from-frida-kahlos-month-in-paris-a-friendship-with-mary-reynolds\/\"><strong>Click here for an excerpt.<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space alter_height=&#8221;small&#8221; hide_on_desktop=&#8221;&#8221; hide_on_notebook=&#8221;&#8221; hide_on_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; hide_on_mobile=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_separator css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;16275&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_empty_space alter_height=&#8221;small&#8221; hide_on_desktop=&#8221;&#8221; hide_on_notebook=&#8221;&#8221; hide_on_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; hide_on_mobile=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;16276&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.artic.edu\/exhibitions\/10068\/gustave-caillebotte-painting-his-world\"><strong>Gustave Caillebotte: Painting His World<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"https:\/\/www.artic.edu\/exhibitions\/10068\/gustave-caillebotte-painting-his-world\" href=\"https:\/\/www.artic.edu\/exhibitions\/10068\/gustave-caillebotte-painting-his-world\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-behavior=\"truncate\">https:\/\/www.artic.edu\/exhibitions\/10068\/gustave-caillebotte-painting-his-wo\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jun 29\u2013Oct 5, 2025<\/p>\n<p>This major review of over 120 works\u2014paintings, drawings, and photographs\u2014shows Caillebotte\u2019s creative evolution from the mid\u20111870s through his death in 1894.\u00a0\u00a0Previously the exhibition was at Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay in October 2024 and then toured the Getty before opening in Chicago.

There she learned numerous things about art, including a little bit about design. That little bit has gone a long way, taking her into custom decorating, product design, and graphic design at various points in her life. Laura spent two years as Design and Content Manager for ArtSelect, the world\u2019s first online art gallery and frame shop. During that time, she kept busy designing products and researching components, creating templates for new artworks to be framed in, and designing PowerPoints and print catalog layouts. Since then, she has worked as a freelance graphic designer for the past 10 years, designing marketing materials, Photoshopping images for web use, and doing some web development.
