Kahlo's biography is famously startling. Her life was a street accident that lasted 47 years. Crippled in her right leg by polio when she was a child, then horrifically injured as a teenager in a traffic accident - multiple spinal fractures, the same right leg and foot shattered - she made what at first seemed a good recovery, became an artist, married Mexico's most respected modern painter, Diego Rivera - then the most famous modernist in America, north or south - participated in revolutionary politics, had an affair with Trotsky, was taken up by the surrealists, divorced and remarried Rivera, suffered a slow but inexorable decline in health and mobility, attended her first Mexican solo show in her bed, which was carried into the gallery, and died with a portrait of Stalin (an imaginative betrayal of her lover Trotsky) on the easel. It would be much easier to explain a hugely-influential historically-documented troubled artist personified in such an iconic way thank it would be to have to explain most of the costumes on here:glbtq >> arts >> Kahlo, Frida". 10 November 2013.

JRS I think the fun of those other costumes (zombie, ghost, mummy, etc) is that they are rooted in fantasy, and even though yes, mummies are real, they are largely associated with the horror genre, which is fiction. This is a making a cute caricature out of real mental illness – which is not really cute or festive. I like the other suggestion of carrying around Starry Night, it seems more appropriate and a stronger representation of Van Gogh, after all those famous paintings are why we are taking about him today, not because he cut off his ear. I’ve been loving this costume series! My daughter doesn’t have a clue about what kids normally dress as for Halloween, and she also doesn’t understand why they just do it on Halloween. So Halloween for us is just the day that she gets a new costume for her everyday costume collection. She really loves art and has been asking questions about artists, so one of these might be appropriate for her….next year. This year she is dead set on a squirrel costume. If you have any ideas for shaping a giant, fluffy tail, let me know. Small, Zachary (8 November 2022). "Setting a Kahlo Drawing Aflame in Search of an NFT Spark". The New York Times .

Frida Kahlo was a great artist | Movies Salma Hayek on why Frida Kahlo was a great artist | Movies

While these are adorable, I agree with some commenters that these costumes aren’t for the run-of-the-mill kid. However, if you happen to have a budding artist that actually KNOWS who these people are? More power to you! Additionally, who’s to say that an adult can’t take cues from these simple costumes as well? What we need now is to look at her art anew, as art rather than confession. One way of rethinking Kahlo is to see her as a star. And someone who might have an insight into that is another star, an inhabitant of Tinseltown.The twenty-first-century Frida is both a star– a commercial property complete with fan clubs and merchandising– and an embodiment of the hopes and aspirations of a near-religious group of followers. This wild, hybrid Frida, a mixture of tragic bohemian, Virgin of Guadalupe, revolutionary heroine and Salma Hayek, has taken such great hold on the public imagination that it tends to obscure the historically retrievable Kahlo." [251] Happy Halloween," Hargitay wrote in her caption, adding several hashtags, including #IPaintFlowersSoTheyWillNotDie #FemaleArtist and "OutfitOne," which hinted that the actor may be planning to post more costume pics throughout the day. I love unusual Halloween costumes, I just think that particular one is in poor taste and is a more complex concept to explain to a kid than zombies and ghosts.
