fredia kayo and janis joplin

this may sound strange, but recently I saw a play called An Evening With Janis Joplin, it was a wonderful experience! Anyway I re-discovered what a powerful force Janis was in the 60's and 70's. I also thought that if Janis would have expressed yourself by painting her work would been, I think, would have had the same power as the work of Fredia Kayo. And if Fredia would have been a singer she would expressed the passion of Janis' music. Just a thought

Do you mean Frida Kahlo?

yes, sorry about the bad spelling

Interesting idea. Personally, I like Frida Kahlo's paintings better than Janis Joplin's singing (but I came to her music at the peak of her popularlity, after she had wrecked her voice, so I might have felt differently about her in the early days). I think there is an element of passion in all artistic work, although works like Camus' The Stranger may transmute it into obsession, which is a slightly different but similar quality: not so much an emotional passion to express one's feelings as an intellectual passion to explain one's sense of disengagement, if that makes any sense.

intresting juxtaposition...makes me think what other artists, musicians and writers on could cross polinate.

How about Francis Bacon and David Bowie?
