Unit 1: Frida Kahlo's art

As seen in her house, Frida Kahlo is a very difficult person to understand, because from my point of view, when analyzing and comprehending an artist’s work it is almost essential to know a little part of his or her life as a normal person. In Frida Kahlo’s case, her life and interpretation of it in her paintings, give her spectators a hint of what not little, but great parts of her life was like. The opposite of any other painters circumstance, as previously mentioned. So when you get to see the inside and outside of her house, the blue house surroundings in the little town of Coyoacan, it is almost impossible to imaging her shopping around with her xoloitzcuintli dogs or painting while laying down in her mirrored bed. Because the feelings expressed in her paintings, she became one of the most popular painters of her time. Though, what I think people does not know is that in reality, she became very popular and admired for many people because of being herself, an intelligent Mexican woman that exposed her ideals and personality without being afraid. There are many quotes from her that make people paralyze, as well as paintings but I think that what really makes Frida an artist is the fact of being Frida herself and watch her either in person, pictures of her own paintings.
