Frida Kahlo and Folk Art
How Kahlo collected, celebrated and represented Mexican folk art both in her painting and in her person.
The visionary and supremely creative artist Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) was inspired throughout her career by folk art: painted ceramics, embroidered textiles, religious votive offerings, children's effigies and toys, and other objects created in the rural and indigenous communities of Mexico.
The hundreds of folk art objects that filled his home and studio testify to his nationalist politics and his fascination with the work of carvers, weavers, papier-mâché sculptors and vernacular painters.
He depicted these objects in his paintings and adopted elements of traditional dress and adornment in his own presentation, playing on the modernist fascination with popular culture and his own relationship to Mexican identity.
The first in-depth exploration of Kahlo's varied and sophisticated responses to folk art situates her within the broad artistic and intellectual movements of her time, examines her professional ambitions, and highlights the innovative techniques she used in her lifelong encounter, both playful and powerful, with the folk art of Mexico.
