There are more important things to worry about, you woke z'ers.
She’s a Marxist icon so it’s good news if she’s being devoured by the left. The snake is eating its own tail.
She’s only got one eyebrow, a unibrow.
Wasn’t she German?
Leftist mental masturbation. Either you like her art or you don’t. Personally, IMHO, if she were not a Latina bisexual communist I don’t think we would have ever heard of her save for being married to Diego Rivera.
Did she and her husband help kill Trotsky?
The original Frau Unibrow. She never heard of a dipilatory?!
Mental grave digging masturb*tion.
On a shallow note: I love those earrings!
Mexican artist of the first half of the 20th century…. Salma Hayek played her in a biopic … which has some great nude scenes if nothing else. Like many other ‘intellectuals’ of the period she was a commie, even spent time with Trotsky when he was in Mexico and before he was assassinated.
“[T]his is what is important to Harvard students now?”
Yes, this this and only this. Not a discussion of Kahlo as an artist even but an interrogation of “her genealogy” and how she “chose to portray” her own existence.
And if she’s insufficiently colored, she’ll be found wanting.
Pretty sure she was married to famed muralist Diego Rivera (if it’s Jeopardy and it’s murals, it’s him!). Pretty sure he’ll be judged too darn white, although I know nothing about his “genealogy”.
They were both big commies, but even that is not enough anymore, as you see. One must be a commie of color! And they don’t even mean Red anymore, or even Pinko!
I feel bad for any young person who wants to actually study ANYTHING. Good luck!
Kahlo had a terrible life medically. At an early age, she contracted polio which crippled one leg. At 18, a handrail impaled her pelvis during a bus accident. Later on in life her crippled leg had to be amputated.
She was interested in anarchism, Communism and having affairs, including with Leon Trotsky. I suspect that her marriage to artist Diego Rivera was part of her fame.
She’s part mestizo and was born in Mexico. Why that doesn’t qualify her to paint with Mexican imagery, I don’t understand. Being half-German makes her all white and privileged? If so, then Obama isn’t our first black president. These people are illogical.
It’s always something.
IIRC, Diego Rivera frescoed some of Rockefeller Center.
When Nelson Rockefeller found out he snuck Lenin into one of the murals, he had it plastered over.
That's copacetic right now, isn't it?
Have no idea, who Frida Kahlo is/was, but this is what is important to Harvard students now?
Early 20th cent. Mexican artist. Sad life. Hated gringos, IIRC, but took their money. And a commie.
She was a mediocre artist who was also a communist.
