Frida Kahlo: Feminism / Gender

Books

Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera

Diego Rivera once characterized Frida Kahlo as the first woman in the history of art who, with a directness and brutal clarity, focused on subjects exclusively to do with women. Late 20th-century perceptions of Mexican art are now dominated by Kahlo. Her stormy relationship with the painter Diego Rivera is mirrored in many of her stunning paintings.

Battle of the Sexes: Franz von Stuck to Frida Kahlo

The exhibition "Battle of the Sexes: Franz von Stuck to Frida Kahlo" sheds light on the artistic investigation of gender roles from the mid-nineteenth century to the end of World War II.

Carr, O'Keeffe, Kahlo: Places of Their Own

This book compares the art, lives, and achievements of three great artists of the Americas: Emily Carr of Canada, Georgia O'Keeffe of the United States, and Frida Kahlo of Mexico. Udall shows how each artist searched for an authentic, personal identity and analyzes in detail the issues these women faced in relation to nationality, nature, gender, and the creation of a personal mythology.
