WEEK 8- Blog Task

Examples of artists/designers who take a strong ethical and/or political stance in their work

Frida Kahlo, Self-Portrait with Stalin, 1954

'Marxist, nationalist, feminist – these are the words that describe not only the political convictions but also the artworks of Frida Kahlo' (K.Grass, 2023).
​
Frida Kahlo during her lifetime was heavily involved in Mexico's communist party and created the painting below  'as a reaction to Sigmund Freud’s book Moses and Monotheism' (K.Grass, 2023). A lot of her work reflects her ethical beliefs and political views.
