Frida’s struggle in political and feminism activities

Frida Kahlo was considered a model for feminist and rebellion, her bold personality, surprising and revolutionary actions have made her legend she is today. She knew how to take advantage of her position and her personality, since her appearance she drew attention through her distinctive Mexican clothes, and her Repuzo scarf that she put around her shoulder or put it in braids of her hair. Her scarf became the focus of Mexico struggle for freedom. Kahlo also was known for her anti capitalist political stances. She covered in her paintings some social taboos and she emphasis on details that highlight features of national identity. Through her art she tried to portray the reality around her, but what was amazing in her depiction of reality, that she always envelops her in unfamiliar atmosphere. This made critics describe her works as surrealism, which she strongly rejected and insisted on her belonging to the school of reality. Photo source: DailyArt Magazine. #Mass4025_f20 #PRSQU
