'Self-portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird is one of the highlights of the current exhibition on Frida Kahlo at the Tate Modern in London. Through close examination of the artist's psychology, as well as the artistic and social background, Jonathan will tell the captivating story of the painting, establishing why Frida Kahlo has become one of the most popular of all twentieth century artists.' - Foccal summary\* **Advisable to buy your £5 ticket in advance via: [https://foccal.com/event/550](https://foccal.com/event/550)** **as art talks by Jonathan often sell out.** **Doors and the bar open at 6.30 pm and the talks starts at 7.00 pm.** Parking in Clifton Village is difficult but, after 5.00 pm, there is free parking nearby in Worcester Road and most of College Road. Bus options on the **[TravelWest website](https://journeyplanner.travelwest.info/?ui=ui)**. Bicycle stands in front of the library. **Meet by the Meetup sign on top of the bookcase just beyond the bar. I'll reserve seats for BBE Meetup members who've bought their own tickets in advance.** After the talk, maybe join us for a chat about it in the pub next door. \*Foccal is a group of volunteers which organises excellent free and paid for events to help keep the library open - forthcoming events: **[https://public.foccal.com/eventlist](https://public.foccal.com/eventlist)**
