Hello Reader,

Today I wanted to write a few words about a Mexican artist you might have heard of - Frida Kahlo. Frida was famous for her paintings with autobiographical elements. She used folk art techniques in painting.

Unfortunately I could not find any of her paintings in the public domain which can be shared without copyright issues.

Frida and her artwork are considered icons for the feminism and LGBTQ+ movements.

Frida had an Indian connection too - here she is in a saree (center) with Nayantara Sahgal (left) and Rita Dar at Casa Azul in 1947.

This online gallery has loads of her paintings. Do take a look Frida Kahlo - The Complete Works - frida-kahlo-foundation.org

Happy Arting,

Abhishek (art noob)
