Dr. Eloesser, who worked at the San Francisco General Hospital was a lifelong friend of Frida's after she visited San Francisco in her early 20s.
Read about their relationship in this article The Doctor and The Artist published by Stanford Medicine. This is a portrait Frida made of Dr. Eloesser and it is on display at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital.
In 2005 I had the incredible opportunity to facilitate the loan of this paining to the Museo de Frida Kahlo for the first-ever exhibition of outside work brought into her blue house. You can read about my adventure.
San Francisco played a pivotal role in the life of artist Frida Kahlo. It is here that she wed Diego Rivera and befriended Dr. Eloesser who became her life-long confidant. This blog explores the life of Frida and how San Francisco impacted her life and how she left her mark on the City by the Bay. This is a blog written by a San Francisco Bay Area resident who loves Frida.
