Through Kahlo’s Eyes

August 28th, 2007 by Sou

I haven’t really mentioned any female artists yet (how could I!) Who else to feature but the amazing Frida Kahlo?

Khalo wasn’t afraid of painting her emotions, and her reality - the way she saw it.  Personally, I love the vibrant colours she used, it’s as if somehow they contradict the pain she depicts.
