AIBU to think most people know who Frida Kahlo is?

[morefalafel]

If you saw a picture of Frida Kahlo, you would recognise this person? Or AIBU?

[Mandy2003]

I have two of her self portraits on my bedroom wall.

Also I recently read The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver which is mostly about Trotsky living with Frida and Garcia in Mexico. Great book.

[Bunbaker]

DD studied her in year 8.

[Mandy2003]

Doh Rivera not Garcia!

[Abra1d]

Most people would not know who she was. I do, but I doubt my husband would. Or my son.

[NadiaWadia]

I do but obviously I am well cultured and sophisticated

I think you are seriously overestimating the general population, considering that apparently there are lots of people who don't even know who the Prime Minister is.

[upthedamnwotsit]

Yes, but only the barest details. I've seen some pictures of her work and know she had a tumultuous relationship and would recognise a picture of her. But beyond that I don't know much about her at all.

[Ohwhatfuckeryisthis]

She was wonderful. It's international women's day, what other wonderful women can you offer up for recognition?
I give you Louise Bourgeois sticking with the arts! showing us age is no barrier.

[Ohwhatfuckeryisthis]

The Lacuna was brilliant.

[Dontbugmemalone]

I've heard of her and received a small book of the work she did, she's an amazing artist.

[Doublemuvver]

Yes I know who she is.

[rugbychick]

Nope, don't know the name

[SarahAndFuck]

I know who she is and would have recognised the picture of her.

[OhGood]

she's ammmaaaazzzzing and I would know that monobrow anywhere.

[ProlificPenguin]

Are you Frida Kahlo?

[Bunbaker]

No, she is her ghost!

[insancerre]

I have never heard of her
and I watch pointless too
I'm fick ain't I?

[TrialsandTribbulati0ns]

Mmmm…

It's International Women's Day. Frida was a great female artist of international fame and people are commenting of her f*cking eyebrows?!?! I give up

[Fruli]

Never heard of her, don't recognise her (but I am almost totally face blind)

[ThursdayLast]

Trials
Good gif work

[TheWomanWithTheMysteriousLump]

For the sake of clarity, I don't know about her from watching Pointless, I just happened to know it. But because I watch a lot of Pointless I know that it's the sort of thing that only a small minority of people know.

[Glasshammer]

Yes I know who she is and what she did. Not my cup of tea

[fluffyraggies]

i knew she was an artist ... or a singer.

wondered for a moment if she was the ''je regrette rien'' singer.

[RubberBullets]

Never heard of her, don't recognise the picture and having googled her artwork she doesn't do anything for me in the slightest.

[itsbetterthanabox]

Mexican artist, did a lot of self portraits. Had a sweet ass mono brow.
I'd be surprised if someone had not heard of her.
