Frida Kahlo’s famous painting “The Two Fridas” exemplifies what patriarchal art history overlooks: the emotional realities of women’s lives, particularly heartbreak.
Frida Kahlo’s Elegy to Heartache
Despite the fact that most of humanity has shared the devastating emotional turmoil of a breakup, the topic is strangely elusive in the history of art.

My girl Frida is sometimes grouped with the Surrealists, who explored the subconscious mind through dream-inspired imagery. However, Frida was in Mexico, while the Surrealists were primarily in Paris, so the association with Surrealism isn’t totally accurate. This quote seems to agree.

Yayoi Kusama was born in Japan in 1929. She is probably best known for her installations, including Narcissus Garden and her Infinity Rooms. Her red hair and polka dots have become iconic, elevating her to a contemporary icon.
