Frida Kahlo
Introduction
With her distinct features, colorful dresses, and bold accessories, Frida Kahlo's image has become recognizable across the globe.
While the Mexican painter's distinct style has turned her into a feminist symbol and fashion icon, the truth about her difficult life and political activism is often forgotten.
Passionate, sharp-tongued, and remarkably attuned to her own emotional experiences, Kahlo left a clear reflection on her life and work in her writings, letters, and illustrated diary.
In her 2024 documentary, Frida, filmmaker Carla Gutierrez revisits Frida Kahlo's life and art from the painter's perspective, bringing her sketches, self-portraits, and diary entries to life.
