Pretty Banner made by Dorote from Lithuania
July is Frida's birth month, and she is a great source of inspiration for women, people dealing with chronic pain, artists that like Folk, or Latin styles, and more than anything, she inspires to keep going even if life goes weird on you.
Yes, she has a lot of drippy red paintings, sometimes uses gross details, I do not agree with her political views :oP her life was very hard most of the time... but her intricate self portraits, the smaller size format she preferred, and the subject of her art, so local and unusual for the time, is what made her popular and famous.
It is always interesting to me, to see that the artists are the reflection of their time, country, era... not only of their own self and their own individual needs/ideas, but of their whole generation.
I can't wait to see what dolls you all can come up with! :oD
And while I'm at it, why don't we make some paintings as well?
Oh this sounds like so much fun!! Can we do a painting or drawing in place of a doll or is the challenge strictly dolls?
ReplyDeletefor ADO it has to be a doll, but to be in my blog, you can do a painting and give me the link here.
