Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
Lowe writes that Frida's self-portraits could express universal emotion. She may be referring to Frida's more formal paintings. In what way do the images in Frida's Diary support or negate this point? Should these be considered art? Are they what Fuentes would call "good art"? Why or why not?
Essay Topic 2
Fuentes writes that Frida was a member of the Communist party from an early age, but that her "politics, such as they were, could not be separated from the personality and the actions of Diego Rivera." Lowe writes that she understood Communism in a religious way. Based on both the text and images in her Diary, how do you think that Frida understood Communism?
Essay Topic 3
How does Kahlo's early interest in physiology and biology affect her art? What does Lowe write is her most common biological and botanical metaphor? How do you see this used throughout the Diary?
