Frida Kahlo-Littlefield Connection

I just read that the Philadelphia Museum of Art will host a major exhibition of Frida Kahlo's work next spring. In 1932 Frida, married for two years to Diego Rivera, came to Philadelphia to help promote H.P., a modernist ballet about U.S.-Mexican relations for which Rivera designed the costumes and scenery. Though she didn't talk much, everyone was taken by her exotic appearance--the clunky beaded necklaces and colorful flouncy skirts. At 90 pounds, she was dwarfed by her rotund mate. Littlefield created the dances for H.P.--it was her debut as choreographer.
