Posted by admin on January 18th, 2011 and filed under portrait paintings | 1 Comment »

What movement(s) would the following Frida Kahlo paintings be from?

Self Portrait as a Tehuana
(Autorretrato como Tehuana)

Self Portrait on the Border Between Mexico and the United States
(Autorretrato en la frontera entre México y los Estados Unidos)

Thanks in advance!

Frida’s works are difficult to classify into movements as she herself didn’t want to be identified with a movement. However, there is a lot of Symbolism, Primitivism, folk art and Surrealist influences in her paintings.
