New US ambassador to Mexico takes aim at Frida Kahlo for her support of Marxism.
MEXICO CITY — The new U.S. ambassador to Mexico has taken aim at Mexican icon Frida Kahlo for her support of Marxism, stirring up a fierce social media debate with a tweet asking if the painter had not been aware of atrocities committed in the name of that ideology.
She created some 200 paintings, sketches and drawings — mainly self-portraits — in which she transformed her misfortune into works of bold color. "I admire her free and bohemian spirit, and she rightly became an icon of Mexico around the whole world. What I do not understand is her obvious passion for Marxism, Leninism, Stalinism. Didn't she know about the horrors committed in the name of that ideology?" he wrote in Spanish.
