Frida Kahlo Shirt

About This Shirt

Frida Kahlo once said, "I was born a bitch. I was born a painter." With that kind of determination and insight, it is clear why Kahlo has become an icon of twentieth century art. Through a fiery marriage to painter Diego Rivera, affairs with prominent, trailblazing women like Josephine Baker, and health problems that plagued her through her entire life, Frida Kahlo managed to capture the beauty of Mexico with bold colors, to examine herself as an artist and as an individual in fifty-five self-portraits, and to become the first twentieth century Mexican artist to have a piece purchased by a major museum when the Louvre bought her painting, "The Frame," in 1939. She was so important to the artistic world of the twentieth century that even Hollywood took notice; Frida Kahlo was brought into an even brighter spotlight with Salma Hayek's Academy Award-nominated performance as Kahlo in the movie "Frida." Get this portrait of Frida Kahlo on your favorite tee shirt or tank top and show your appreciation for the arts, culture, and painting with a simple yet bold fashion statement.
