MUSICAL MASTERPIECES. A glorious development for Frida Kahlo fans: The trailblazing Mexican painter will be the subject of a musical, the Associated Press reports. Composer Jaime Lozano is handling the music, and playwright Neena Beber is writing the lyrics. The Kahlo family–approved venture is from producer Valentina Berger and BTF Media, which was reported in May to be at work on a TV series based on the Surrealist legend. In other art-and-music-and-acting crossover news, Ocula reports that singer and actress Maya Hawke, of the TV show Stranger Things, has released a video for her song “Thérèse,” which responds to Balthus’s 1938 painting Thérèse Dreaming.
