happy birthday to Frida Kahlo, one of my favorite artists
Born on July 5th, 1907, she was one of the most iconic artists of the 20th century. This photograph, titled “Frida with Granizo, Coyoacán,” captures Frida Kahlo alongside her beloved pet deer, Granizo. The presence of Granizo highlights Frida’s love for animals and the natural world. This photo is one of many that document Kahlo’s life and intimate moments at her home, La Casa Azul (The Blue House), in Coyoacán, Mexico City. Frida had an extraordinary talent and indomitable spirit.
“everything exists, and moves, under only one law – life.”
