Frida was not German as stated, she was jewish[edit]
Please correct the entry. Her father was a Jew from Germany. To call him, and her, German, is a huge error. 72.89.219.145 (talk) 15:45, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
My mom was Jewish and also born in Germany. She considered herself a German. But she was never a practicing Jew. 2601:881:201:9620:B89F:7AD9:3C99:4481 (talk) 19:58, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Diego Rivera was Jewish too. They were both friends of Trotsky, who was also Jewish. Lot's of matzoh in the woodpile of Mexico! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:6AE5:2510:0:0:0:46 (talk) 17:50, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Towards the end of the heading is the misleading sentence "She had her first solo exhibition in Mexico in 1953, shortly before her death in 1954 at the age of 47." This could be interpreted to mean her first exhibition ever was in Mexico in 1953, while later in the article is stated that in 1938 Julien Levy hosted Kahlo's first solo exhibition in New York. If her first Mexican solo exhibition was in 1953, the sentence should be changed to be clearer. Curuwen (talk) 16:14, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Frida Kahlo should not be recognized as emblematic of Indigenous peoples and their traditions[edit]
As stated in the main article, "Kahlo's work has been celebrated internationally as emblematic of Mexican national and Indigenous peoples of Mexico indigenous traditions and by feminists for what is seen as its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form". Frida Kahlo's status and ability to wear “Indigenismo” as an art practice substantially reflects her cultural role and proximity to whiteness and wealth. Frida Kahlo promoted indigenismo without having clear connections to Indigeneity. While indigenismo was the creation of Indigeneity without Indigenous perspectives, there are now opportunities to create a more inclusive dialogue about Indigeneity by allowing Indigenous perspectives to tell their own stories rather than Frida Kahlo a privileged woman sharing her experience as representation for them. Adysalvatierra1Adysalvatierra1 (talk) 16:00, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have a source for those claims, or are they just your own personal opinions? I didn't even know that indigeneity and indigenismo were real words. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:07, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Your second sentence was unwarranted, "real words" is a pretty loaded phrase when talking about this issue; Indigenous people are real, as are the words they use to describe themselves. But yes, you are correct, sources are needed to document and verify any disputes surrounding Kahlo's use of Indigenous styles and practices, or surrounding the general anointing by the art historical record of Kahlo as a key example of indigenismo in Mexican art. I would agree with OP that this article needs to be edited to reflect the diversity of thought around Kahlo's practice and legacy, but it requires good sourcing to do so. 19h00s (talk) 18:16, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have no problem with indigenous. I have no problem with indigenous people. Quite the opposite, in fact. If my admission of a lack of knowledge of the English language has upset you in some way, I can only apologise. I look forward to seeing some reliable sources.

Too few pictures of her work, too many pictures of her[edit]
She was a painter, there should be more examples of her paintings. 62.73.69.121 (talk) 20:48, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I tend to agree, as only one of her paintings is shown. But do you know of any more that could be used within the limitations of copyright? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:55, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, unfortunately I don't know enough to solve this. I hadn't thought of the copyright aspect - most painters I have seen Wikipedia articles about died a longer time ago and it just didn't occur to me that her case was different.--62.73.69.121 (talk) 20:30, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've been thinking of bringing this article to GA status but since its so big I was wondering if anyone is willing to help! Thank you. The Blue Rider 22:56, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
