Perpetrator of Communism Memorial [John J. Miller]
Less than a month after the dedication of the Victims of Communism Memorial in Washington, D.C., the National Museum of Women in the Arts is opening a new exhibit on Frida Kahlo. She was, of course, an unrepentant Stalinist whose paintings carried titles such as "Marxism Will Heal the Sick." By the way, the NMWA isn't in Pyongyang or Havana. Here's the bizarre part: The museum thinks it will attract visitors because the exhibit includes "a new collection of images ... of Kahlo's private bathroom at the Casa Azul and its contents." This isn't an art exhibit—it's a shrine, to a woman in the thrall of a murderous ideology.
