Frida Khalo 1907 - 1954

Frida Khalo has undoubtedly become one of the most well-known female artists and for good reason. She was an outspoken feminist and fought for equality in 20th century Mexico, a time and place of political and cultural oppression. Her work explores themes of abortion, miscarriage, gender inequality, sexuality, female beauty ideals, and her own physical disability. Her lifelong passion for equality was not hindered by a severe bus accident that left her infertile and with long-term pain. Her strength and persistence is inspirational and can be seen in her eyes when you are look at one of her many self-portraits. 

She refused to be brought down by hardship and discrimination. She refused to shave her eyebrows and often darkened them with pencil in defiance of beauty standards pushed upon her. She also refused to become overshadowed by her artist husband Diego Rivera. Both being very dominant personalities, their relationship was an on and off roller coaster which included many affairs on both sides. Khalo openly had relationships with both men and women throughout her life. 

Frida Khalo’s defiance, strength and pride has made her a true feminist icon and if you are ever in need of some inspiration take a quick read about one of her many incredible paintings.
