Description
Summary:In this article, we look at two biographies on the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo and an academic article that share the common characteristic of adopting an approach to the life and work of this artist that presents ableist biases that are sometimes combined with gender biases. The effect of this perspective is to delegitimise Frida Kahlo as an artist, to invalidate her as a woman and to overshadow the political dimension of her life and work. Disabilty studies, as well as the experiential knowledge emanating from the disabled community, are called upon to propose possible counter-readings to hegemonic narratives.
