Today I’m going to spotlight three of my favorite artists. I chose each one because I like his or her life story and I’m attracted to, inspired by, and influenced by his or her art.
Frida Kahlo (1907-1954). A Mexicana who taught herself to paint and whose work reflects all aspects of her life, from her long-term physical disabilities, to her difficult marriage to artist Diego Rivera, to her love of Mexico.
Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1976). An American woman whose independence and big bold paintings are a constant source of wonder to me.
Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890). He was born in Holland but most well-known for the paintings he did while living in France. His use of color, line, and texture are amazing.
