Ekelund Frida Kahlo – Kitchen Towel
Frida Kahlo is one of the most important Latin American artists of the 20th century. As a contemporary witness, she experienced the most important social and artistic movement in Mexican history during and after the Cristero War, the cultural struggle after the Mexican Revolution.
The iconic artist was born on July 6, 1907, in Mexico City and died on July 13, 1954, also in Mexico City. Since 1959, the Frida Kahlo Museum, which displays many of her paintings, her clothes, and indigenous jewelry, has been located in her parents' house, also known as Casa Azul.
Inspired by Mexican folklore, Frida Kahlo wears the Tehuana costume in many of her self-portraits, which refers to her mestizo ancestry and was style-defining. She probably owes her creativity to her father, the German-Mexican photographer Guillermo Kahlo. With her flower-adorned hairstyle, exaggerated blush, and strong eyebrows, she herself became a work of art. In her paintings, which are characterized by a very autobiographical style, she processed the highs but above all the lows that life gave her: illness, death, suffering, love, and life - Viva la Vida. Thus, the artist, who always advocated for women's rights, with her strength, perseverance, and fearlessness, is a role model for people all over the world.
