Frida Kahlo and Her World
ArtTracker| Frida Kahlo is always popular at Anne of Carversville. Today we posted Karl Lagerfeld’s Vogue Germany fashion editorial featuring Claudia Schiffer. One of my favorite fashion editorials is Iris Broasch photographing Laura Ponte as Frida Kahlo for a 1998 L’Officiel.
Considering ‘why’ Frida is featured as muse for Vogue Germany, I discovered that 2010 is the 100th year of Mexican independence. In Brussels, The Center for Fine Arts has launched a major exposition of Mexican art, including Frida Kahlo Y Su Mundo.
Enjoy this YouTube video about Frida’s feminist fight to define herself as a fully-developed woman within the strict confines of her Catholic, Mexican life and a strict, conservative mother.
Even I am a bit shock to learn of her drawing” ‘Frida and The Abortion’. Truly, Frida Kahlo had a wilful personality and unyielding sense of identity and personal values.
