Oil on canvas

Frida Kahlo was born on July 6th 1907 and died July 13th 1954. Born in Coyoacan Mexico, she is a female painter who is best known for her self portraits and symbolic paintings that embrace her Mexican culture. 
Her art depicts an inner look on herself as a hispanic woman and is a prime example of feminism. The feminine identity she shares with the world is extremely open and heartfelt and is the prime reason she was chosen for this exhibit.
