Kahlo and de Borchgrave at Naples Art Institute

 Works by tenowned Belgian artist, Isabelle de Borchgrave, are shown at Naples Art Institute until June 11.  The exhibition is inspired by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, one of the most iconic female artists of the 20th century. 


de Borchgrave's works are entirely made from paper!  It took her three years to create these pieces.




The details are dazzling.



The mannequins on which de Borchgrave placed her paper dresses all display Kahlo's iconic eyebrows.


The theme for City Daily Photo for May 1 is "museums," so this post is linked to the CDP website.
