Document Summary
The face in this photo is relatable for most women, especially of those who are immigrants. It shows women empowerment and ability to achieve anything they put their minds to. The red colors bring attention to the femininity, love and passion for country. Her hair draws you to the eagle on her red shirt. The colors used represent the colors of the mexican flag: red, green, and white. The other faces this artwork reminds me of are the faces of nelson mandela, obama, and the muslim women with and. I chose frida kahlo because she is a famous mexican painter who had a face that was easily distinguished. She painted many self portraits because she was stuck in bed after a bus accident. In her artwork she envisioned the style of postcolonialism, gender, class and race within mexican culture. This picture of frida kahlo is the exact embodiment of her self portraits.
